For the crust

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the pecan crust
  1. Mix all-purpose flour, finely chopped pecans, melted unsalted butter, and powdered sugar until evenly combined, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish.
  2. Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to set.
Add the cream cheese layer
  1. Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping and spread evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Spread the remaining 1 cup 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 crust firmly and chill it before adding the cream cheese layer so the layers stay distinct when slicing. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended due to the whipped topping texture. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping.
