Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
For the cream cheese layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping
For the topping
  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make and set the pecan crust
  1. Mix all-purpose flour, finely chopped pecans, melted unsalted butter, and powdered sugar until evenly combined, then press into the bottom of a 9x13 dish with tight, even pressure.
  2. Refrigerate the pressed crust for 30 minutes to set, until firm enough to layer on top.
Layer the cream cheese filling
  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth, then fold in 1 cup whipped topping until the mixture looks light and uniform.
  2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust, using a spatula to level the surface.
Top with whipped layer and berries
  1. Spread the remaining 1 cup whipped topping in an even layer over the cream cheese layer so the top is fully covered.
  2. Arrange sliced strawberries and blueberries across the top in a patriotic pattern or scatter evenly, keeping the layers visible from the sides.
Chill, slice, and serve
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set, then slice into squares and serve cold.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, chill overnight if you can and wipe your knife between cuts. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; do not freeze for best texture. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and reduced-sugar whipped topping (texture remains similar when well chilled).
