Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package graham crackers
Instructions
- Beat the heavy cream: In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream is light and fluffy.
- Prepare cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Fold whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, combining carefully to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.
- Layer the ingredients: In a rectangular dish, start by placing a layer of graham crackers, then spread a layer of the cream mixture over them, followed by a layer of fresh blueberries.
- Repeat layers: Continue layering graham crackers, cream mixture, and blueberries until all ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of blueberries on top.
- Chill the cake: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Slice the chilled cake into portions and serve it cold for a refreshing summer dessert.
