A festive and easy no-bake cheesecake featuring a creamy filling topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries arranged like the American flag. Perfect for summer celebrations and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ¾ cup (90 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries, washed and drained
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon apricot jam (warmed and strained for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly coated. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan for an even layer. Chill in the fridge.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to cream cheese, then fold in whipped cream gently. Add lemon juice last.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread filling evenly over chilled crust and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  4. Prepare the fruit topping: Arrange strawberries in rows to create red stripes and fill one corner with blueberries to mimic the stars.
  5. Optional glaze: Warm apricot jam and brush gently over fruit for shine and freshness.
  6. Final chill: Refrigerate cheesecake for another 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

If crust is too loose, add a teaspoon of water or extra melted butter. Chill thoroughly for clean slices. Use cold cream and chilled bowl for whipping. Dip knife in hot water and wipe between slices for neat cuts. Can substitute berries or use dairy-free alternatives for dietary needs.
