No-Bake Cheesecake Flag Cake

You can make this lovely, sweet treat for 4th July or any patriotic holiday without turning on the oven! Besides the taste and light mousse-like texture, I think your guests will enjoy the iconic stars and stripes design provided by the fresh blueberries and strawberries.

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Filling:
  • 1 cup cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 20 large fresh strawberries, hulled and halved lengthwise, or as needed
  • 24 large fresh blueberries, or as needed
