🛒 Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp lemon zest (optional)

For the Berry Mix

  • 1 cup strawberries, diced
  • ¾ cup blueberries
  • ¾ cup raspberries

Optional Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. If using a crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Divide among 4–6 serving glasses and press down gently with the back of a spoon.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until light and fluffy.
  6. Fold about half of the mixed berries into the cheesecake filling, leaving the remaining berries for the topping.
  7. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture evenly into the prepared dessert glasses.
  8. Top generously with the remaining strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before serving so the filling can set.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, fruity bite!
