Searching for a no-bake treat to bring to a summer barbecue or Fourth of July celebration? Say hello to your new go-to patriotic dessert<\/a>. This red, white and blue trifle dessert is lighter than a flag cake<\/a> or mixed berry pie<\/a>, but is every bit as colorful, festive and irresistible. Juicy strawberries and blueberries are layered with a fluffy mixture of sweetened cream cheese and whipped cream, making it a refreshing finish to a filling meal. The best part? This fuss-free recipe comes together in just 20 minutes.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract until light and fluffy. Fold<\/a> in the whipped cream\u2014gently so it doesn\u2019t deflate. Spread a third of the cream cheese mixture in the bottom of a 4-quart bowl or trifle dish.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Chill your bowl and beaters before making the whipped cream\u2014the cold helps the cream whip faster and hold its shape better.<\/p>\n Set aside 20 strawberry halves and 1\/2 cup of blueberries for the decorative flag garnish. Then, layer half the remaining strawberries and blueberries over the cream cheese base.<\/p>\n Add another third of the cream cheese mixture and the remaining berries. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture on top. Arrange the reserved blueberries in the upper left corner and the strawberries in rows to represent the stars and stripes of the American flag.<\/p>\n Tightly cover the trifle dish or serving bowl with storage wrap and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve it. You can store leftovers in the covered serving dish or transfer them to an airtight container. This red, white and blue trifle will stay fresh for up to three days\u2014though it might not last that long since it\u2019s so hard to resist!<\/p>\n Yes, you can make this red, white and blue dessert recipe ahead of time. Letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight gives the cream cheese layer a chance to set and helps the flavors develop. Just know the berries may start to soften and release juice the longer it sits. To keep it looking fresh, store the reserved berries in an airtight container and add them just before serving.<\/p>\n Sure! You can use a whipped topping like Cool Whip<\/a> instead of freshly whipped cream to save time and cut down on dishes. It still gives the cream cheese mixture a light, fluffy texture, but it tastes sweeter and less rich than homemade whipped cream.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that this recipe calls for 4 cups of whipped cream, and a standard tub of whipped topping contains roughly 3 cups. You\u2019ll need to purchase two tubs and measure out what you need.<\/p>\n You can use frozen berries<\/a> in a trifle, but fresh is best for this recipe\u2014especially since the berries are used to decorate the top layer. Frozen berries release a lot of juice as they thaw and have a softer texture than their fresh counterparts, so they may make the layers a bit soggy. If you want to use frozen berries, thaw and drain them well before layering them with the cream cheese mixture. For the best presentation, stick with fresh berries for the flag design.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have a trifle bowl, a large glass mixing bowl works just as well to show off the red, white and blue layers. You could also use a glass baking dish, salad bowl or punch bowl<\/a>, or you could make individual-sized desserts in Mason jars or stemless wine glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Layers of fluffy, sweetened cream cheese, whipped cream and colorful berries make the festive red, white and blue dessert perfect for
