Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in thirds to achieve a fluffy texture.
  5. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  6. Carefully arrange blueberries and sliced strawberries on top to create a flag design.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
