Berry Cheesecake Salad (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Layer

01 - 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
02 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 - 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
04 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
05 - 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

→ Fruits and Extras

06 - 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
07 - 1 cup blueberries
08 - 1 cup blackberries
09 - 1 cup raspberries
10 - 1 cup strawberries, cleaned and sliced

# Instructions:

01 - Use a big bowl to mix the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Toss in the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then stir until it's all nicely blended.
02 - Carefully fold in the whipped topping. Take your time so the mixture stays light and airy.
03 - Rinse all the berries and dry them gently. Chop the strawberries into smaller, easy-to-eat pieces.
04 - Add the strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and optional marshmallows to the bowl. Gently stir everything so the berries are coated evenly in the creamy mixture.
05 - Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to cool. Serve it chilled and dig into this creamy fruit combo!

# Notes:

01 - Plan Ahead: You can get the cheesecake part ready in advance, but mix in the fruit just before serving so they stay fresh.
02 - Storing: Keep any extras in a container with a lid in the fridge for up to two days.
03 - Extra Crunch: Sprinkle some crushed granola or graham crackers on top before serving for added texture.
