A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy cheesecake, graham crackers, and red, white, and blue berries. Perfect for summer celebrations and last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup (90 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 12 sheets graham crackers
  • 1 cup (150 grams) strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup (150 grams) blueberries
  • Whipped topping or extra heavy cream (optional, for garnish)
  • Optional: lemon zest or raspberries for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined but still light and airy.
  5. Slice strawberries and measure blueberries. Break graham crackers into palm-sized pieces.
  6. In a pan, spread a thin layer of the cheesecake cream mixture on the bottom. Add a layer of graham crackers, pressing gently.
  7. Add a layer of strawberries, then more cream mixture, then crackers, blueberries, cream mixture, and a final layer of crackers. Top with leftover cream and berries.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Slice into squares and serve chilled, garnished with extra berries or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks only. Fold gently to keep mixture airy. Chill overnight for best texture. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with coconut-based alternatives. Gluten-free option available by swapping graham crackers with gluten-free cookies.
