Berry Yum Yum Dessert
A decadent and patriotic no-bake layered dessert perfect for summer gatherings, featuring layers of strawberry, blueberry, and homemade whipped cream cheese filling.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
12 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla extract, divided
6 tbsp granulated sugar
1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
1 (21 oz) can blueberry pie filling
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Blend with a fork until crumbs are moistened. Set aside 3 tablespoons of crumbs for the topping.
2. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
3. With an electric mixer, cream together softened cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and remaining 1 tsp vanilla until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture by hand until well combined.
6. Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture (about 3 cups) over the crust.
7. Drop strawberry pie filling by large spoonfuls over the cream layer and spread gently.
8. Top with another 1/3 of the cream mixture and spread evenly.
9. Drop blueberry pie filling by large spoonfuls over the second cream layer and spread gently.
10. Cover with the remaining 1/3 of the cream mixture and sprinkle with the reserved crumbs.
11. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow layers to set properly.
Notes
Use premium pie fillings for more whole fruit.
Overnight chilling is mandatory to prevent layers from sliding when sliced.
You can substitute Cool Whip for the homemade whipped cream if desired.
