Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
  • 1.5 cups Heavy Whipping Cream Chilled
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Sifted
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 lb Fresh Strawberries Hulled and halved
  • 2 cups Fresh Pineapple Diced into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 cups Green Seedless Grapes Whole
  • 0.5 cup Caramel Sauce Thick and viscous
  • 5 leaves Fresh Mint For garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Electric hand mixer Used to whip the cheesecake base to stiff peaks.
  • 1 Large Clear Glass Bowl Essential for showcasing the fruit and caramel layers.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, pineapple, and grapes. Cut strawberries into halves and dice the pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Keep grapes whole. Ensure all fruit is dry to prevent a watery base.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add cold heavy cream and whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is billowy and white.
  3. Gently fold the prepped strawberries, pineapple, and grapes into the cheesecake mixture using a silicone spatula. Do not overmix; stop once the fruit is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer to a clear glass bowl. Drizzle the thick caramel sauce in a zig-zag pattern across the top, allowing it to drip down. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
