Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup peaches, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and mix until well combined.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and peaches on top of the cream cheese layer in a decorative pattern or evenly distributed.
Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and slice into squares.
