FAQs

Is it normal to have liquid in the salad if you refrigerate it?

Often, when you refrigerate the salad, the fruit content releases water. For a thick creamy texture, you can discard this water. Otherwise, if it is not a lot of liquid, you can simply mix the salad well. The liquid will disappear.

Why do you need to add lemon juice?

Lemon juice adds freshness and hints of zing to the salad. It increases the nutritional quality of this salad. And most importantly, it prevents the bananas from being browned which makes an important factor for fresh representation of the salad.

Why does the cream mixture get clumpy?

If all the creamer has been added at once, the mixture will get clumpy. So try to add spoon by spoon even if you are in a hurry. Otherwise, it will ruin your salad.

What can be used instead of creamer?

If you do not have a creamer, you can use a cup of heavy cream with a small amount of sugar. Make sure to use powdered sugar.

Does Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad taste better when chilled or not chilled?

Although it is a salad, you can imagine it being a dessert-like salad. And desserts taste better chilled. So it is good if you cool down the salad in the refrigerator. But it is not a problem if you do not want a chilled salad. Go ahead and eat as you wish. Chilled or unchilled!
