# What You'll Need:

→ Cheesecake Mixture

01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
02 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

14 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# How To Make:

01 - Combine crushed cookies, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Cool completely before using.
02 - Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt or sour cream. Continue beating until mixture becomes fluffy and well combined.
03 - Place peaches, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and pineapple in a large serving bowl. Gently toss to distribute fruits evenly.
04 - Fold the prepared cheesecake mixture into the fruit bowl. Use a spatula to gently combine until all fruit pieces are lightly coated with the creamy dressing.
05 - Sprinkle the cooled cobbler topping over the salad immediately before serving. This ensures maximum crunch and texture contrast.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its like eating dessert salad without the guilt because fruit takes center stage
  • The cobbler topping stays perfectly crispy when you serve it right away
  • Everyone thinks you spent hours making something fancy but it comes together in under 40 minutes
02 -
  • The cobbler topping loses its magic once it sits in the creamy mixture for too long, so keep it separate until the last moment
  • Fresh pineapple makes a huge difference here the canned stuff can make everything taste a bit tinny
  • If your peaches are not quite sweet enough, toss the fruit with a tablespoon of sugar before folding in the cream
03 -
  • Toast the crumble a little longer than you think is necessary, those deeply golden bits are the best part
  • Room temperature fruit folds into the cream more easily than cold fruit right from the fridge
