Strawberry Cheesecake

Banana Salad


8 ounce package of cream cheese softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1½ cups strawberry banana yogurt
8 ounce container whipped topping thawed
8 ounce bag mini marshmallows
4 cups fresh strawberries washed, tops removed, hulled, and quartered (reserve ½ cup for garnish)
2½ cups ripe bananas peeled and sliced (just before you are ready to serve, reserve ½ cup for garnish)
Using a large mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high, beat the softened cream cheese for 1-1½ minutes until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla, and continue beating for 1½-2 minutes until well incorporated. Fold in the yogurt and whipped topping and marshmallows until completely combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Just before you are ready to serve, gently fold in the 3½ cups of strawberries and 2 cups of sliced bananas. Garnish with reserved strawberries and sliced bananas.
