Raspberry Cheesecake Dessert Salad

A raspberry cheesecake dessert salad that is so delicious.  Not to mention it’s super easy. For large crowds, I would plan to double or triple the original recipe at the very least.

Ingredients (Plan to Double or Triple)

• 32 oz vanilla yogurt
• 8 oz Cool Whip
• 3.4 oz Cheesecake Jello Pudding Mix
• 2 packages frozen raspberries (1 package optional for topping)
• 1 can Reddi Whip – optional

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, blend the vanilla yogurt and Cool Whip.
2. Add the Jello Cheesecake pudding mix and blend with a whisk or an electric mixer.
3. Fold in one small package of frozen raspberries. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours before serving. This will allow the raspberries to thaw and add flavor to the cheesecake mixture.
4. Optional – add to a trifle bowl or fun serving bowl. On top of the cheesecake mixture, decorate with the rim of the bowl with Reddi Whip then add the frozen raspberries to the middle.
5. Boom! The easiest dessert salad you’ll ever make.
   

Optional “dressed up” version, top with Reddi Whip and extra raspberries.

Not Your Store-Bought Macaroni Salad

I really wish my pictures did this salad justice. I promise you will not be disappointed. Be sure to use miracle whip, not regular mayo.

• 1 small block of medium cheddar cheese
• 1 medium onion
• 1 can peas
• 1 can tuna

• 2 1/2 c miracle whip (do not substitute mayo!)

• 1/2 c milk
• 1/2 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
