→ Main Ingredients

01 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - ½ cup white sugar
03 - 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
04 - 3 cups strawberries, sliced
05 - 1 cup blueberries
06 - 1 cup raspberries

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and completely combined, about 2 minutes. Be sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
02 - Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, maintaining as much air as possible in the mixture for a light, fluffy texture.
03 - Carefully fold in the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries until evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake mixture. Be gentle to avoid crushing the berries.
04 - Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. For best presentation and flavor, enjoy within 4 hours of preparation.

# Notes:

01 - For a more patriotic presentation, reserve some berries to arrange on top in a flag pattern.
02 - This dessert is best served chilled and eaten the same day it's prepared.
03 - For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or the zest of one lemon to the cheesecake mixture.
