  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Base Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz Cool Whip
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box cheesecake instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk

Additional Ingredients

  • 10 oz bag white mini marshmallows
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and quartered
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berries: Start by washing all your fresh berries thoroughly. Remove the tops of the strawberries and slice them into quarters. Set aside for later use.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric or hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Add Cool Whip: Add the Cool Whip to the cream cheese and continue mixing until the mixture is uniform and well combined.
  4. Mix Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cheesecake instant pudding mix and milk until you achieve a smooth consistency with no lumps.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the pudding mixture into the cream cheese and Cool Whip bowl, mixing well until fully incorporated.
  6. Add Marshmallows and Berries: Gently fold in the white mini marshmallows, quartered strawberries, and blueberries into the cheesecake mixture, taking care to avoid crushing the berries.
  7. Mix Gently: Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed, maintaining a light hand to preserve the texture of the fruit.
  8. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
  9. Serve: After chilling, give the salad a gentle final mix. Serve chilled and enjoy this patriotic, creamy dessert salad.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is properly softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries and blueberries for maximum flavor and vibrant color.
  • Gently fold in the berries to maintain their shape and prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • This salad is best served within 24 hours of preparation for freshness.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a richer texture.
  • To add a festive touch, garnish with extra berries on top just before serving.
