A quick and festive no-bake dessert featuring a creamy Cool Whip base, fresh berries arranged like an American flag, and a crunchy graham cracker crust. Perfect for summer celebrations and ready in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup graham crackers (crushed)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Crush about 1 cup of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch rectangular dish to form a thin, compact layer.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip with 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Gently fold the sugar into the Cool Whip until smooth and creamy, avoiding overmixing.
  3. Spread the sweetened Cool Whip evenly over the graham cracker crust layer, smoothing it out to cover the crumbs completely.
  4. Rinse and pat dry 1 cup of fresh blueberries and 1 cup of sliced fresh strawberries. Place the blueberries in the top left corner of the dessert to form a square ‘blue field’. Create horizontal stripes by alternating rows of sliced strawberries and plain Cool Whip to mimic the American flag.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set before serving.

Notes

Thaw Cool Whip fully before mixing to avoid lumps. Crush graham crackers to a fine but not powdery texture. Arrange berries close to serving time to keep them fresh and prevent sogginess. Pat berries dry after washing to avoid watery spots. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, use dairy-free whipped topping and gluten-free graham crackers. You can add vanilla extract or cinnamon to the Cool Whip for extra flavor. The dessert can be made in individual cups for portability.
