There’s just something about the combination of strawberries and
bananas. When I was a little girl and feeling sick, my mom would make me warm
jello water with the strawberry banana flavor and I swear it had healing
properties, lol. For Mother’s Day, I made my mom the creamy Orange Fluff and
thought what other kind of creamy fruit salad can I concoct? I had some very
nice strawberries and while strawberry season here is another few weeks away,
the Driscoll brand is always very nice and flavorful.

This recipe has no jello in it but it does have Jell-O brand Cheesecake pudding flavor and it is delicious!! I put bowls of this in my summer working boy’s lunches and they loved it. Mr. Nine and I teased that this was another creation we could grab spoons and eat right from the bowl!
What you'll Need
Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad
INGREDIENTS
1 (8-oz)
package cream cheese, softened
1 (3.4
ounce) package instant cheesecake pudding, unprepared
3-4 Tablespoons
Vanilla Coffee Creamer (any kind)
1
(8-oz) tub Lite Cool Whip topping, thawed
1 (16-oz)
strawberries, hulled and sliced
3
medium bananas, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until it becomes smooth. Add dry pudding mix. Beat until well combined. With mixer running slowly add creamer to the cream cheese mix. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese. Continue until all of the creamer has been added to the cream cheese. Whip until smooth. In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries, banana slices and lemon juice. Stir until all the fruit is coated with lemon juice. Add cheesecake mixture to fruit. Gently fold cheesecake mixture into fruit. Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.
