Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450g) graham crackers, crushed (or digestive biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries or white blueberries
  • Optional: 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust Layers: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Divide the crumb mixture into three equal portions.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
  3. Layer the Dessert: Press one portion of the graham cracker crumbs evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. Spread one-third of the cream cheese filling over the crust layer, smoothing it out evenly.
  4. Build the Berry Layers: Arrange half of the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle lemon juice if using. Add another layer of graham cracker crumbs, pressing gently. Add another third of the cream cheese filling and smooth it out.
  5. Repeat with Blueberries: Scatter fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer, then add the third graham cracker crust layer, pressing lightly. Finish with the remaining cream cheese filling and top with raspberries or white blueberries, spreading evenly.
  6. Chill Thoroughly: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  7. Serve: Slice into squares with a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried between cuts. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use chilled bowls and beaters for whipping cream. Soften cream cheese at room temperature naturally. Pat berries dry to avoid soggy layers. Chill overnight for best flavor and texture. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean slices. For gluten-free, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free cookies or almond flour crust. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
