Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Cream cheese layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 cup whipped topping

  • 2 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make and chill the pecan crust
  1. Mix all-purpose flour, pecans, melted butter, and powdered sugar until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Press the crust firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Add the cream cheese layer
  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping, then spread evenly over the chilled crust.
Top with whipped layer and berries
  1. Spread the remaining whipped topping in an even layer over the cream cheese layer. Arrange sliced strawberries and blueberries across the top in a patriotic pattern or scatter evenly.
Chill and slice
  1. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set. Slice into squares and serve cold.

Notes

For the cleanest square slices, chill the dessert until fully firm (at least 4 hours) and use a sharp knife wiped between cuts. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freeze is not recommended because berries and whipped layers can weep after thawing. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and reduced-sugar whipped topping if you prefer.
