Useful Information
Ingredient Tips: Opt for fat-free Greek yogurt and cream cheese to keep the WW SmartPoints low. You can also use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol to further reduce the sugar content.
Storage: Store any leftover Cheesecake Fruit Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The fruits may release some juice over time, so gently stir before serving again.
Variations: Feel free to customize the fruit selection based on what’s in season or your personal preferences. Additions like kiwi, mango, or mandarin oranges can also complement the salad well.
