Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 full sheets)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- **Prepare the Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of 6-8 individual serving glasses or jars. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- **Make the Cheesecake Filling:** In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- **Whip the Cream:** In a separate cold bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- **Combine Filling:** Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined and no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- **Assemble the Delights:** Spoon or pipe about half of the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crusts in each glass. Top with a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a layer of blueberries.
- **Layer Again:** Spoon or pipe the remaining cheesecake filling over the fruit layers. Top generously with more fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries, arranging them in a visually appealing “red, white, and blue” pattern.
- **Chill and Serve:** Cover the glasses loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Serve chilled and enjoy your patriotic treat!
