Instant Cheesecake Pudding- can use white chocolate or vanilla instant pudding instead. Vanilla Yogurt– Can use strawberry yogurt for more strawberry flavor. Cool Whip– thaw it completely. Fresh Strawberries– fresh strawberries are best but frozen can be used instead if you thae them and blot them dry. Bananas– you want ripe, but not overripe bananas. Lemon Juice– helps keep the fruit from turning brown and adds a little acidity. Mini Marshmallows– optional. Leave them out if you don’t like them. How To Make Make the Cheesecake Base– best cream cheese until smooth. Then mix in the vanilla pudding mix and yogurt. Fold in the Cool Whip. Refrigerate 30 minutes to thicken. Mix in the fruit and marshmallows. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the fruit and stir to mix. Mix into the cheesecake mixture along with marshmallows. Recipe Tip It is helpful to use a handheld mixer or stand mixer for this recipe. Substitutions and Variations Fresh whipped cream can be substituted for the Cool Whip, but I recommend eating it shortly after it is made. The fresh whipped cream will not hold up as well as Cool Whip. Add additional fruits. Blueberries, raspberries, and peaches all make great additions. Leave out the marshmallows if you don’t like them. Add a crunchy nut topping like some toasted pecans, walnuts, or almonds. How To Store Best eaten the day it is made but leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days. Do not freeze.
