Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces (450 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon strawberry jam or honey to glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand. Press mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice on low speed, then medium until smooth and creamy (2–3 minutes). Scrape down sides as needed.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate cold bowl, whip cold heavy cream to soft peaks using an electric mixer.
  4. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture gently using a spatula to keep mixture airy and light.
  5. Assemble the bars: Pour filling over chilled crust and spread evenly. Arrange sliced strawberries and blueberries evenly on top. Optionally brush fruit with warmed strawberry jam or honey for a glossy finish.
  6. Chill to set: Cover pan tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Serving: Remove from fridge 10 minutes before slicing. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry between cuts for neat slices.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth mixing. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks to keep filling light. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Chill bars at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Use fresh, firm berries to avoid soggy topping. Brush berries with glaze for shine. Cut bars with a warm knife for clean slices.
