Ingredients

32 ounces vanilla Greek yogurt
3.4 ounces instant cheesecake pudding mix just the dry mix
8 ounces whipped topping
1 teaspoon vanilla optional
4 cups mixed berries

Optional:

1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

Using a whisk or electric mixer, mix dry pudding mix, yogurt, and vanilla together. The mixture might still have a few small lumps. That's okay. They'll themselves out.
Gently fold in whipped topping.
Make sure berries aren't frozen in a big clump. If they are break them up. Then add to cheesecake mixture and gently fold. If you quickly fold the berries the salad will stay mostly white. The longer you fold and stir the berries will turn the salad a pink color and the berries will break down into smaller pieces. Either way is okay. It's totally up to you!
Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to allow the berries to completely thaw. Then serve!

Notes

Fruit: I like using frozen fruit best because it's quick and easy (no washing and slicing). However, you can use fresh fruit if you'd like. Be sure to wash and dry the fruit before adding it to the salad. If you're using fresh fruit don't add it until you're ready to serve the salad.

Yogurt: I really like using Greek yogurt because it's thicker than regular yogurt. If you have regular yogurt it will still be fine. You can also use strawberry, mixed berry, or raspberry yogurt.

Whipped Cream: I'm a huge fan of freshly whipped cream, but if you're going to use it in salads you'll need to beat it until it's pretty stiff before adding to the salad. Whipped topping is quick and easy and holds up in salads like this.
