How to Make 4th of July Fruit Salad
You’re going to love how quick and easy this strawberry fluff salad come together. That means it’s the perfect dessert for just about any summer occasion — from a backyard BBQ on Memorial Day to fireworks watching on the 4th of July.

Start by combining the cheesecake pudding mix, cream cheese, and milk in a large bowl. You don’t need to prepare the pudding mix, just add the powder to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Then, use a hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until all the powder is fully mixed into the cream cheese and the mixture is light and fluffy.

Once you have the cream cheese blended, add the Cool Whip to the bowl. Carefully fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.

Next, stir in your chopped strawberries, blueberries, and mini marshmallows. Fold in the fruit softly to keep from smashing the berries as you stir.
Once your fruit and marshmallows are fully mixed into the dessert, cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.

How to Store Cheesecake Fluff Salad
- How long can fluff fruit salad sit out? If you’re serving this dessert at an outdoor get-together, it will stay good for around one hour out of the fridge. Just keep in mind that the dessert is made with cream cheese, so it should be placed back in the fridge as soon as you’re finished serving it.
- Can I make cheesecake fluff salad ahead of time? Yes! This cheesecake dessert actually tastes best when it’s had time to sit in the fridge. You can make your fluff up to one day in advance. Make sure to cover the bowl and keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to serve it.
- How do I store berry fluff salad? This dessert should be kept in the refrigerator when it’s not being served. You can cover the bowl and chill it that way. Or transfer the leftovers to an airtight container. It will stay good up to three days in the fridge. I wouldn’t recommend freezing the fluff because the ingredients will begin to separate and become watery when it thaws.
