A quick and easy no-bake cheesecake trifle dessert featuring layers of creamy cheesecake, crunchy graham cracker crust, and fresh strawberries and blueberries, perfect for patriotic occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups graham crackers, crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Crush 1 1/2 cups (150g) of graham crackers finely using a food processor or by pounding in a sealed plastic bag. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Add 5 tablespoons (70g) melted unsalted butter to the crushed crackers and stir until evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces (226g) softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream to soft peaks.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula to keep it light and airy.
  6. Slice 1 1/2 cups (about 225g) fresh strawberries and wash and dry 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries.
  7. Assemble the trifle cups by layering about 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs at the bottom, followed by 3 tablespoons of cheesecake mixture, a layer of sliced strawberries, another cheesecake layer, a sprinkle of crumbs, blueberries, and finish with a final dollop of cheesecake mixture.
  8. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and cheesecake layer firm up.
  9. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or garnish with fresh mint before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks and fold gently to maintain airiness. Crush graham crackers finely for best texture. Assemble cups quickly to keep berries fresh and vibrant. Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes before covering to prevent condensation and keep crust crunchy.
