Instructions

- Step 4: Chill and Serve- Transfer the fruit salad with cheesecake filling into a serving bowl.- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.- Top it with crushed graham crackers for a crust-like cheesecake touch.
Notes
- You can swap fruits based on the season or personal preference.
- Avoid adding overly juicy fruits like watermelon, which can make the salad watery.
- Chill longer for a firmer texture if desired.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
