Berry Cheesecake Fluff Salad – Easy No-Bake Patriotic Dessert
I love making this berry cheesecake fluff salad when summer rolls around. It’s one of those recipes that just makes sense when you are heading to a potluck or BBQ. You know, when it’s hot out, and you don’t want to fuss with the oven.
The red, blue and white colors make it a perfect patriotic dessert for July 4th celebration.
There’s something about the combination of cheesecake-flavored pudding, soft cream cheese, and fluffy whipped topping that makes each bite feel a little indulgent without being too heavy. Plus, the strawberries and blueberries add just the right amount of freshness.

How to Make Berry Cheesecake Fluff Salad
Here are the ingredients you need to make this berry cheesecake fluff salad, plus step by step instructions for how to make it.
Ingredients
- 3.4 ounce package cheesecake pudding mix
- 1/3 cup milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
Step by Step Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cheesecake pudding mix and softened cream cheese. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. You’re looking for a silky consistency with no lumps. This will give your fluff salad that signature cheesecake flavor.
2. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cheesecake mixture. Use a spatula to fold rather than stir (this helps keep the texture light and airy). Make sure the whipped topping is fully incorporated without losing its fluffiness.
3. Toss in the mini marshmallows, chopped strawberries, and fresh blueberries. Carefully fold everything together until the marshmallows and berries are evenly distributed. The goal is to keep the berries intact while ensuring they’re well-coated with the creamy mixture.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This step helps the flavors meld and the texture firm up a bit. Before serving, give it a quick, gentle stir, and transfer to a serving dish. Serve chilled, and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!
This berry cheesecake fluff salad is great when you want something simple and tasty to share. It’s one of those desserts that looks impressive with its red, white, and blue colors, but doesn’t take much effort.
