Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- For the Filling:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- For the Fruit Topping:
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and banana)
- Optional: ¼ cup fruit preserves or glaze for shine
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
- Arrange the mixed fresh fruits on top of the filling, pressing them slightly into the cream.
- Chill:
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve:
- Before serving, drizzle with fruit preserves for a glossy finish, if desired. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cake to serve.
Enjoy your delicious no-bake fruit cake delight!
