Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 stick Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 cups Strawberries, sliced
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan to form an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust, using a spatula to smooth the surface.
Decorate the cheesecake to resemble the American flag: Arrange the blueberries in the top-left corner to represent the stars, and then alternate rows of sliced strawberries and plain cheesecake filling to create red and white stripes.
For an optional touch, sprinkle white chocolate chips between the rows of strawberries for added texture and sweetness.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Cut into squares and serve cold. Enjoy your festive and fruity cheesecake flag!
