Raspberry Yogurt Pudding Salad
Easy, delicious Raspberry Yogurt Salad!
Have you tried Raspberry Yogurt Pudding Salad yet? So easy, you could make it any time, but pretty enough for a special occasion! And let’s be honest, it isn’t a healthy salad – really more of delicious dessert. But it is totally acceptable to serve as a side dish at a BBQ, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any family gathering. 😉
Fruit Salad with Yogurt
I like to use a good strawberry Greek yogurt in this raspberry yogurt salad recipe for extra protein and other good stuff, but any yogurt will do. Keep in mind, if you use Greek yogurt, the salad will be thicker than if you use a regular yogurt. Either way it is delicious!
Then just mix the yogurt and the dry cheesecake pudding mix together. Use an electric mixer for best results on this part – it helps get rid of the lumps easier and faster.
Fruit salad with yogurt and Cool Whip! Yum! It’s creamy and sweet, but still light and fluffy with yummy strawberry and raspberry flavors going on. The cheesecake pudding mix provides a hint of cheesecake flavor too.
What is Cool Whip?
Cool Whip is a brand of store-bought whipped topping sold in a little tub at most grocery stores around here. Any brand will do though.
It’s raspberry fluff with yogurt! Frozen raspberries are perfect in this yogurt fruit salad. But you can totally change it up with any other frozen fruit or a mixture of frozen berries or fruit.
This raspberry yogurt pudding salad will be a big hit at your next potluck or family meal. It is super simple and easy to make and pretty much everyone that tries it will love it! Enjoy!
Find a nice serving bowl on Amazon! Here are some great serving spoon options too.

Recipe Notes
- For a smoother texture, strain the raspberry puree to remove seeds.

I use white chocolate pudding and vanilla yogurt, cool whip, raspberries, and white chocolate chips. It’s delicious.

That sounds very delicious, Shar! Thank you for your comment and review.
Can you freeze it after you make it
That is a great question. If you want to enjoy it frozen, YES, let it thaw a few minutes b efore serving. If you want to serve it as the recipe intends (not frozen), I think the raspberry would release a lot of moisture as it thaws and make it runny. Maybe try a portion and see how it goes? If you do let us know, please?
Hi, Stacy – In your response to Lynn about freezing the salad (the berries might make it runny as they thaw), it made me wonder if that won’t also happen as they thaw during dinner, since they’re added frozen to the mixture – which leads me to ask how long it will keep in the fridge prior to serving it? Id’ like to make this for Easter dinner this Sunday, but that concerns me. Is there a reason fresh berries can’t be substituted for frozen ones? Thank you!
Hi Cindy! I sure do think that fresh would work beautifully. If using fresh, I would not make sooner than a day ahead of when you plan to serve it, so those berries are at their best! This sounds like a lovely Easter dessert. Let us know how it was?!
Thank you!
