Equipment
- 12-inch pizza pan
- hand mixer or stand mixer
- Large mixing bowls
- spatula
- Flat-bottomed measuring cup
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 14 full sheets
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
No-Bake Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz full-fat block cream cheese fully softened to room temperature
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks
Fruit Topping
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved patted dry
- 1 cup fresh blueberries patted dry
Instructions
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until it resembles wet sand.
- Press firmly and evenly into a 12-inch pizza pan using a flat-bottomed measuring cup. Press slightly up around the edges to form a border. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth, about 3 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully firm.
- Pat the strawberries and blueberries completely dry. Arrange in a flag pattern or decorative design across the top.
- Refrigerate until serving. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water and dried between each cut.
Notes
Use full-fat block cream cheese only — not spreadable. Bring cream cheese to full room temperature before beating. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks before folding. Chill crust 30 minutes before filling. Chill filled pizza 4 hours minimum before adding fruit. Pat fruit dry before arranging. Add berries 2-3 hours before serving for best appearance.
