Je • Tue, Jul 04

I made a Patriotic Cheesecake for the Fourth of July. Would love to see what you have made and please include the recipe if you can. 😋

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

FILLING:

2packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 carton (16oz. ) frozen whipped topping, thawed, reserve 4oz. for topping

2 cups of halved strawberries

1/2 cup of blueberries

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the flour, pecans and brown sugar. Stir in butter until crumbly. Lightly pat into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.

For filling, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread filling over crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Spread remaining whipped topping over dessert just before serving. Decorate with strawberries and blueberries to resemble a flag. Refrigerator leftovers.

Yield: 12-15 servings.
