A refreshing and visually stunning no-bake dessert featuring layers of fresh strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, and a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (100 g) graham crackers, crushed
  • 5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (300 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
  • Optional: fresh lemon juice or lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Crush 2 cups (100 g) of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
  2. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with 5 tablespoons (70 g) melted unsalted butter until evenly combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish to form the crust. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whip 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream with 1/3 cup (40 g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  5. Spread about one-third of the whipped cream evenly over the chilled crust.
  6. Layer sliced strawberries (about 2/3 cup/100 g) over the whipped cream.
  7. Add a thin layer of whipped cream on top of the strawberries.
  8. Add another layer of crushed graham crackers (about ½ cup/25 g), then whipped cream, followed by a layer of blueberries (about ½ cup/75 g).
  9. Continue layering in this pattern, finishing with a thick layer of whipped cream on top.
  10. Arrange the remaining strawberries and blueberries on top to resemble the American flag with strawberry stripes and a blueberry rectangle in the corner.
  11. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  12. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry for clean cuts, then serve chilled.

Notes

Keep the heavy cream cold before whipping for best results. Do not overbeat the cream to avoid turning it grainy. Press the graham cracker crust firmly and chill well before layering to prevent sogginess. Pat berries dry if watery. Chill the cake at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor melding. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
