Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream, cold
• 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 pint fresh blueberries
• Optional: 2 tbsp strawberry jam or glaze, warmed (for brushing strawberries)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until no lumps remain and the mixture is creamy.
3. Whip the Cream: In a separate cold bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
4. Combine and Chill: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined and smooth. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
5. Prepare the Fruit: Just before serving, arrange the sliced strawberries and whole blueberries decoratively over the top of the cheesecake to create a stunning red, white, and blue pattern. If desired, lightly brush the strawberries with warmed strawberry jam or glaze for extra shine and flavor.
6. Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delightful Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Strawberries dessert!
