- Crust:
- 2 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
- 12 T. unsalted butter, melted
- Cream Cheese Mixture:
- 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 c. confectioners’ sugar
- 4 c. whipping cream
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract, divided
- 6 T. granulated sugar
- Mixed Fruit Filling:
- 1 (21 oz.) can strawberry pie filling
- 1 (21 oz.) can blueberry pie filling
- Stir the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Scoop out 3 tablespoons of the crumb mixture and save it for the topping.
- Press the remaining crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan coated with non-stick cooking spray.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with confectioners’ sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the whipping cream with granulated sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until firm peaks form.
- Gently combine the whipped cream with the cream cheese mixture by hand until fully blended.
- Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture, about 3 cups, over the prepared crust.
- Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cream layer in large dollops, then carefully spread it into an even layer.
- Add another 1/3 of the cream mixture over the strawberry layer and smooth it to cover completely.
- Spoon the blueberry pie filling over the next cream layer, then gently spread it across the surface.
- Finish with the remaining 1/3 of the cream mixture, spreading it evenly over the blueberry layer.
- Sprinkle the reserved 3 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs over the top.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Premium strawberry and blueberry pie fillings give the fruit layers a fuller berry texture.
- For a shortcut, use 2 (8 ounce each) containers of Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping in place of the homemade whipped cream.
- Overnight chilling is important because it helps the layers firm up and slice more neatly.
