Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Extra strawberries, sliced, for topping

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and dice the strawberries. Pat dry and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together instant cheesecake pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth and fluffy.
  6. In another bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese-pudding mixture until just combined.
  8. Carefully fold in diced strawberries, graham cracker crumbs, and mini marshmallows (if using).
  9. Transfer the salad to a serving dish and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
  10. Top with extra sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and pat strawberries dry to avoid a runny salad. Chill for at least an hour for optimal texture. Make gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers or omitting them. You can substitute vanilla pudding mix if cheesecake pudding is unavailable. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese.
