Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create a delicious Berry Trifle Cheesecake:
1. Prepare the Base: In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a trifle dish or dessert glasses to form an even crust. Set aside.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
4. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Layer the Dessert: Begin layering the trifle. Start with a layer of cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust, followed by a layer of mixed berries.
6. Add Another Layer: Repeat the layers (cheesecake, berries) until you reach the top of the dish or glasses. Optionally, you can drizzle berry jam on top for enhanced flavor.
7. Chill the Trifle: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
8. Garnish Before Serving: Just before serving, garnish with additional fresh berries and mint leaves for a beautiful presentation.
