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 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the pecan crust (no-bake)
  1. Mix all-purpose flour, pecans, melted butter, and powdered sugar until evenly combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish.
  2. Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to set.
Layer the cream cheese filling
  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth, then fold in 1 cup whipped topping.
  2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Spread the remaining whipped topping in an even layer over the cream cheese layer.
Top and chill
  1. Arrange sliced strawberries and blueberries across the top in a patriotic pattern or scatter evenly.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set, then slice into squares and serve cold.

Notes

Pro tip: press the pecan crust firmly so the base slices cleanly; for best results, chill the full 4 hours before cutting. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended because the whipped topping and berries can weep and lose texture. For a lower-fat option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping (texture may be slightly softer).
