Keto Cheesecake Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

• For the Salad:
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 small kiwi, peeled and sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber (optional for extra crunch)
• For the Cheesecake Dressing:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2-3 tbsp powdered erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener, adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for tanginess)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruit:
   • Wash and slice all the berries and fruits. Combine them in a large bowl. If you’re adding cucumber, chop it up and mix it with the fruits.
2. Make the Cheesecake Dressing:
   • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Continue mixing until well-combined and smooth.
3. Combine:
   • Gently fold the cheesecake dressing into the fruit mixture until the fruit is evenly coated.
4. Serve:
   • Serve immediately for the best texture or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. The flavors will meld together as it sits.

Tips:

• You can add a few mint leaves on top for freshness.
• For a different flavor, you can add a few crushed nuts, like almonds or pecans, on top.
