Fold gently so the fruit doesn’t break apart and bleed into the cream.
Chill the salad to let the flavors meld and the texture set.
Add bananas just before serving if you’re prepping ahead—they tend to brown.

How to Store It

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Do not freeze—it alters the texture too much.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mixed Berry No Bake Cheesecake Salad

Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just wait to add the bananas until just before serving to prevent browning.

Can I use frozen fruit?
Fresh is best for this one. Frozen fruit can release too much liquid and make the salad watery.

Is there a dairy-free version?
You can try using dairy-free cream cheese and a coconut-based whipped topping. The flavor will vary slightly but still be delicious.

What if I don’t have powdered sugar?
You can blend granulated sugar in a blender until it’s fine like powdered sugar in a pinch.
