Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Strawberry preserves
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press it firmly. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix to combine.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Remove the crust from the freezer and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Prepare the berry glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the strawberry preserves and water. Heat over low heat until the preserves are melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Assemble the topping: Once the cheesecake is set, remove it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Arrange the sliced strawberries and blueberries on top of the cheesecake in decorative patterns.
Drizzle the cooled strawberry glaze over the berries for shine and added flavor.
Serve chilled. Slice and enjoy your Red White and Blue Cheesecake!
