Patriotic No-Bake Cheesecake. Amazingly easy, fabulously delicious, and perfect for any July 4th get-together. Aka- Wave Your Flag Cheesecake

This dessert wanders around under different names. Patriotic No-Bake Cheesecake is my name. The top is often decorated in a flag-shape (instead of my alternating lines) and called Wave Your Flag Cheesecake. I use alternating lines because that way everyone gets strawberries AND blueberries in every bite! I’ve also added blueberry jell-o to the original recipe. Yes, I dared to improve upon a recipe made by a major company.

This dessert is easy! Easy as in “if you can make jell-o” easy. Despite that, it’s my husband favorite dessert. He likes it even more than my “Layered Red Velvet & White Chocolate Cheesecake.” I didn’t realize anyone could like something better than that. I think he likes it just for the frosting. If you happen to make extra frosting, it’s good by the spoonful too. Should I be admitting that?

I’ve included a step-by-step (just in case you want to see what it looks like during each step). Though it’s really easy, I promise.



Step-by-Step Instructions

Layer sliced pound cake in bottom of 9" x 13" baking dish.

Add the berries in your formation of choice. I do stripes. But you can also do a flag design.
