Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, which should take around 3-5 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Chill this combination in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then cut it into bite-sized squares.
- Grab a large serving dish and begin layering the ingredients for your Caramel Crunch Cheesecake Fruit Salad. Start with a generous base of strawberries, followed by a layer of green grapes and red grapes. Then, add the cheesecake bites on top, spacing them evenly throughout the salad for an inviting presentation.
- To elevate the flavors and textures, generously sprinkle crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs over the top of the layered salad, adding that delightful crunch. Next, sprinkle the chopped peanuts or pecans on top for an additional nutty layer. Finally, take your caramel sauce and drizzle it over the entire salad, followed by a drizzle of white chocolate.
- Once your Caramel Crunch Cheesecake Fruit Salad is beautifully garnished, you can choose to serve it immediately for a fresh taste or chill it in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld even further.

Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother texture. Use ripe, fresh fruit for best flavor.
