🕒 Prep Time: 15 min | Chill Time: 30 min | Total Time: 45 min

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Bites:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Fruit Salad:

• 2 cups strawberries, halved
• 2 cups green grapes
• 1 cup red grapes

Toppings:

• ½ cup caramel sauce
• ¼ cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
• ¼ cup chopped peanuts or pecans
• ¼ cup white chocolate drizzle

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Cheesecake Bites:
   In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. 🍰 Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, then cut into small bite-sized cubes.
2. Assemble the Fruit Base:
   In a large serving bowl or platter, layer the halved strawberries, green grapes, and red grapes. Try to alternate colors for that beautiful, Pinterest-worthy look! 🍓🍇
3. Add the Cheesecake Bites:
   Gently mix in or top the fruit with the cheesecake cubes. Be careful not to overmix so they keep their shape.
4. Add the Crunchy Toppings:
   Sprinkle over crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, and drizzle with caramel sauce and white chocolate. ✨Serve immediately or chill for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tips:

• Chill longer for firmer cheesecake bites that hold their shape better.
• Nut allergy? Swap peanuts for sunflower seeds or skip them entirely.
• Meal prep tip: Make cheesecake bites a day ahead and store in an airtight container.
