Only a handful of ingredients and about 10 minutes of time are needed to make this Red, White & Blue Cheesecake Salad.

How To Make

First you’ll soften 8 ounces of cream cheese. To do so, let it sit at room temperature for about an hour. If the cream cheese is too cold, you’ll have a really hard time getting it smooth and creamy.

Next you’ll use a hand-held mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth and then beat 1/2 cup of granulated sugar into it.

Next fold in or mix in an 8-ounce container of Cool Whip that has been thawed.
