# What You’ll Need:
→ Cheesecake Mixture

03 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
05 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

12 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
13 - 2 tbsp brown sugar
14 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
15 - Pinch of salt
# 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 mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until golden 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 chunks in a large serving bowl. Gently toss to distribute fruits evenly.
04 - Pour cheesecake cream over the fruit medley. Using a spatula, fold gently until all fruit pieces are lightly coated with the creamy mixture.
05 - Sprinkle cooled cobbler topping generously over the salad immediately before serving to maintain optimal crunch. For best texture and flavor, serve right away.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It delivers all the indulgence of cheesecake and cobbler without turning on your oven for hours
- The crunchy spiced topping against creamy fruit creates the most incredible texture contrast
02 -
- The topping must cool completely before sprinkling or it will steam and turn soggy within minutes
- This salad tastes best within an hour of assembly, though the fruit and cheesecake mixture can hang out separately for hours
03 -
- Mix your crumb topping when it's still slightly warm from the oven and you'll get the best texture
- If the cheesecake mixture feels too thick, add another splash of cream before folding
