This no-bake patriotic dessert is the perfect sweet treat for summer celebrations—easy to make, refreshingly creamy, and always a crowd favorite. With a buttery graham cracker crust and a light creamy filling topped like an American flag, it’s as festive as it is delicious.
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until fully mixed.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13"x9" baking dish using your hands or the bottom of a flat glass to create an even crust.
In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the Cool Whip to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold it in using a spatula until the mixture is light and well combined.
Spread the filling evenly over the crust.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for 4–6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Once chilled, use a toothpick to lightly outline your flag design on the top layer.
Fill in the design with blueberry and cherry pie fillings to create the flag pattern.
Top the blueberry portion with edible star sprinkles or cut out star shapes from white fondant as a finishing touch.
