Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
7 tbsp melted salted butter
3 tbsp granulated sugar
Filling:
8 oz softened cream cheese
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 oz whipped topping (optional)
Topping:
1/2–1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 pint fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Stir with a fork until the mixture resembles the texture of damp sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined springform pan, ensuring an even layer that reaches the edges. Chill while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for smooth blending. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
- Slowly add in the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
- If using, gently fold in the whipped topping until evenly incorporated.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust and use a spatula to level the surface.
- Cover the pan and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the cheesecake to firm up.
- Decorate: When ready to serve, remove the springform pan and parchment. Arrange blueberries in the top-left corner and sliced strawberries in horizontal rows to mimic the American flag.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese and chill the cheesecake overnight. Decorate with seasonal berries or your favorite toppings.
