Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Topping
- 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined to create the crust mixture.
- Form the crust: Press the crumb and butter mixture firmly into the bottom of a serving dish, creating an even layer that will serve as the base of the dessert.
- Make the cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it is fully incorporated and lightened in texture.
- Assemble the dessert: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust to form the dessert’s filling layer.
- Add topping: Arrange fresh berries of your choice evenly over the cream cheese layer for a colorful and flavorful finish.
- Chill and serve: Place the dessert in the refrigerator and chill for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and texture.
- For a firmer crust, chill the crust mixture for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
- This dessert can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a citrusy twist.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
