Equipment
- 1 9x13 inch baking dish glass or ceramic
- 1 mixing bowl medium size
- 1 spatula for spreading layers
Ingredients
Berry Mixture
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup frozen blackberries
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Creamy Layers
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped cream
Base Layer
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated. Fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine all fresh and frozen berries with sugar and lemon juice. Toss gently to mix and let sit for a few minutes to allow the berries to release their juices.
- Spread half of the creamy mixture over the graham cracker base. Layer half of the berry mixture on top, followed by the remaining creamy layer. Finish with the remaining berries, ensuring even distribution.
Serving
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to meld. Slice into 8 servings and plate for guests.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dessert is best enjoyed chilled.
