Description

No Bake Berry Lush is a creamy, indulgent dessert featuring layers of fluffy cream cheese filling, fresh berries, and a buttery graham cracker crust. It’s easy to make, no baking required, and perfect for summer gatherings or any occasion that calls for a cool, sweet treat.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  5. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  6. In a small bowl, toss the mixed berries with lemon juice to enhance their flavor.
  7. Layer the berries on top of the cream cheese filling.
  8. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours, or until set, before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of berries, or even other fruits like peaches or mangoes.
  • If you want a firmer dessert, freeze it for a couple of hours before serving for a semi-frozen treat.
  • For extra flavor, add a small amount of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
  • This dessert is perfect for potlucks or summer picnics.
