Usually, in the Midwest at a potluck, there will be 7 salads on a table and not one of them has lettuce in it. This salad has an assortment of berries and a cheesecake/Cool Whip pudding mixture and it's called a "salad." Don't knock it until you try it is all I'm saying. 😉

Why You Will Love This Recipe

I've been eyeballing this Berry Cheesecake Salad recipe on Pinterest ever since last Summer and thought I'd make it more Weight Watcher-friendly. I

replaced the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and heavy cream with just a package of instant pudding mix (the cheesecake-flavored kind) and a container of fat free cool whip. For a little extra zing, I added in some lemon extract.

You will want to eat this whole entire salad by yourself. One serving of the berry cheesecake salad is 3 smart points.

Ingredients Needed

Berry Cheesecake Salad - Recipe Diaries (2)
  • Cool Whip - A frozen whipped topping that is found in the freezer section of the grocery store. I like it a lot because I’m lazy and don’t like beating heavy cream to making whipped cream. 😉
  • Instant Cheesecake Pudding - I’m a semi homemade cook and whenever I can use ingredients like this I love them. Just add in milk to the pudding. There are different sizes of pudding mix. The regular pudding mix are 3.4 oz and the sugar-free are 1oz. Both require the same amount of milk used.
  • Milk - 1%, reduced fat or 2%. I've tried this with Fairlife Milk and it's pretty much the same as the other 2 milks, no lactose.
  • An assortment of mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Use whatever is in season at the moment.
  • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

How to make Berry Cheesecake Salad

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this a day ahead??

No, I would not make this salad a day ahead of time if you plan on taking it to a party or event. It doesn't take long at all to make so make it the day above. Sometimes the berries release extra juices so it might be a little runny.

What is consistency like?

The pudding and cool whip mixture is not a thick consistency like how you're used to what some other fluff desserts or salad recipes are like. It's a little on the thinner side like the picture shows below.

    Wanted to update my comment!
    After a few hours in the fridge, it set PERFECTLY. Absolutely delicious!

  2. Jenna says

    Yeah, certain milk doesn't allow pudding to set properly. So glad he liked it!

  3. Shelbi Bonnaville says

    I used soymilk with my pudding so that may be my issue, but it wasn't pudding consistency. It was still extremely delicious and it didn't bother me one bit. With the soymilk it added an extra point making it 4 points on the WW green plan.
    Will DEFINITELY make this again.
    My husband not even in WW loved it as well.

  4. Jenna says

    So you're rating a recipe 1 star just because it's not the consistency how you think it SHOULD be? The pudding cheesecake mixture is supposed to look like the picture above. It's not thick at all. Hope that helps.

    Testing recipes before a get-together isn't the greatest idea either, FYI.

  5. Jody says

    I made this today for a family get together- I doubled the recipe and yikes - it’s like soup. Way too much pudding/cool whip. I ended up putting it in a 9x13 cake pan and a loaf pan and am freezing it. Fingers crossed it works.

  6. Jenna says

    Read Step 2 again. It says what to do and pretty much describes what you just said. 🙂

  7. Kyndra says

    Do you make the pudding then mix it all together or just put the mix in?!?!?

  8. Jenna says

    I would make this the day of you plan on serving it. Does it get better after mixing it up? The berries probably released some liquid while sitting overnight.
