Instructions

Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, instant cheesecake pudding mix, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gradually stir in the Greek yogurt and milk until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced bananas with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Gently fold the sliced strawberries, bananas, and optional mini marshmallows into the cheesecake mixture.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve cold and enjoy.

Notes

Use low-fat or nonfat dairy products to make a lighter version.

Try different fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or mango.

Top with crushed graham crackers or granola for a crunch.

Add chopped nuts for extra texture and richness.

For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese, almond milk, and coconut yogurt.

Best enjoyed the same day; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
