Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Greek yogurt (or sour cream), honey (or powdered sugar), vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
3. Continue mixing until well combined and fluffy. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the fruit.

Step 2: Prepare the Fruit Salad

1. Wash and dice all the fresh fruits into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. In a large bowl, gently mix the diced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, grapes, and pineapple.
3. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired and sprinkle with lemon zest for extra freshness.
4. Toss everything together until well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake Fruit Salad Cups

1. If using a base, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press a small amount into the bottom of each serving cup.
2. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust layer.
3. Generously top with the prepared fruit salad.
4. Garnish with additional fruit, a sprinkle of granola, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
