An easy, no-bake patriotic dessert featuring layers of creamy cheesecake filling, fresh berries, and a graham cracker crust, perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • Optional: fresh raspberries
  • 1 package (about 7 oz) graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves
  • Optional garnish: white chocolate shavings or stars

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base by combining crushed graham crackers with melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a trifle dish and chill.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  3. Whip chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy.
  5. Layer the trifle starting with cheesecake filling over the crust.
  6. Add a layer of sliced strawberries for the red stripes.
  7. Add another layer of cheesecake filling over the strawberries.
  8. Scatter fresh blueberries over the white layer to mimic the flag’s blue field.
  9. Top with a final layer of cheesecake filling.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  11. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or white chocolate stars before serving.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Whip cream to stiff peaks and fold gently to keep mixture airy. Drain frozen berries well to avoid sogginess. Chill overnight for best texture and flavor melding. Clear glassware enhances presentation. Can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with substitutions.
