Description
Delightfully refreshing no-bake cheesecake bars topped with colorful strawberries and blueberries, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until everything is combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of your greased 9×13 inch pan to form a solid crust.
- Prepare the filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until it’s well blended.
- Fold in the topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is combined.
- Spread the cheesecake layer: Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust. Spread it out evenly.
- Decorate: Arrange the sliced strawberries and blueberries on top to form an American flag design.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 120-240 minutes until set.
- Serve: Once chilled, cut into bars and serve.
Notes
Let the cream cheese warm up before mixing for easier blending. Don’t rush the chilling step to ensure bars hold their shape.
