UNIQUE SERVING SUGGESTIONS

TIPS

  • Incorporate various kinds of flavors of pudding mix such as strawberry or vanilla.

  • Choose low-fat Cool Whip to reduce the point value.
  • Sprinkle a hint of powdered cinnamon on the top of the salad for an extra taste.
  • Try this cheesecake recipe with different types of fruit such as citrus fruits or tropical fruits.
  • Whisk the milk and pudding mix properly to prevent lumps.
  • Prevent overmixing the cheesecake, which can make the salad watery.

STORAGE INFORMATION

Fridge:

  • You can save the cheesecake in a covered dish and refrigerate it for four days.

Freezer:

  • This cheesecake can be frozen, but I do not recommend re-thawing it because its cream cheese dressing will change. Alternatively, you can transfer this salad to a baking tray and freeze it for forty to seventy days. Then, slice the frozen salad into pieces. You can serve it frozen as a cheesecake bar.
