A quick and easy no-bake layered cheesecake trifle featuring red strawberries, white cheesecake, and blue blueberries, perfect for summer parties and patriotic celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional: 1-2 tbsp granulated sugar for berries
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed digestive biscuits (gluten-free crumbs if needed)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional garnishes: extra berries, mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust base: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until evenly coated and clumps when pressed. Set aside.
  2. Make the cheesecake layer: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
  3. Prepare the berries: Wash and slice strawberries. Toss with granulated sugar if desired. Rinse and pat dry blueberries.
  4. Layer the trifle: Spread one-third of the crust mixture in the bottom of the serving dish. Add one-third of the cheesecake mixture. Scatter half the strawberries and blueberries over the cheesecake. Repeat layers: crust, cheesecake, remaining berries. Finish with a final layer of cheesecake on top.
  5. Chill and serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Garnish with extra berries and mint leaves before serving.

Notes

Chill the whipped cream bowl and beaters before whipping for better peaks. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese to keep mixture airy. If cheesecake layer is too soft, chill for 10-15 minutes before layering. Use fresh ripe berries and pat dry to avoid soggy crust. Assemble just before chilling to keep crust crisp. For dairy-free version, use plant-based cream cheese and coconut cream. Graham cracker crumbs can be substituted with gluten-free or nut-based crumbs.
