Ingredients

  • CRUST:
  • 2 1/2 C. GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS
  • 12 T. UNSALTED BUTTER, MELTED
  • CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE:
  • 2 (8 OZ.) PACKAGES CREAM CHEESE, SOFTENED
  • 1 C. CONFECTIONERS’ SUGAR
  • 4 C. WHIPPING CREAM
  • 2 TSP. VANILLA EXTRACT, DIVIDED
  • 6 T. GRANULATED SUGAR
  • MIXED FRUIT FILLING:
  • 1 (21 OZ.) CAN STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING
  • 1 (21 OZ.) CAN BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Instructions

  • PREPARE THE CRUST:
  • IN A BOWL, COMBINE GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS AND MELTED BUTTER. BLEND WITH A FORK UNTIL CRUMBS ARE MOISTENED.
  • SET ASIDE 3 TABLESPOONS OF CRUMBS TO SPRINKLE ON THE TOP.
  • PRESS CRUMB MIXTURE INTO THE BOTTOM OF A 9×13-INCH PAN THAT’S BEEN SPRAYED WITH NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY.
  • PREPARE THE CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE:
  • WITH AN ELECTRIC MIXER, CREAM TOGETHER SOFTENED CREAM CHEESE, CONFECTIONERS’ SUGAR, AND 1 TEASPOON VANILLA EXTRACT UNTIL SMOOTH.
  • IN A SEPARATE BOWL, WHIP THE WHIPPING CREAM, GRANULATED SUGAR, AND REMAINING 1 TEASPOON VANILLA EXTRACT UNTIL STIFF PEAKS FORM.
  • BY HAND, MIX TOGETHER WHIPPED CREAM AND CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE UNTIL WELL COMBINED.
  • ASSEMBLE THE YUM YUM LAYERS:
  • SPREAD 1/3 OF THE CREAM CHEESE/WHIPPED CREAM MIXTURE (ROUGHLY ABOUT 3 CUPS) EVENLY OVER THE CRUST.
  • DROP STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING BY LARGE SPOONFUL DOLLOPS ON TOP OF THE CREAM CHEESE LAYER. GENTLY SPREAD STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING EVENLY OVER THE CREAM CHEESE LAYER, CONNECTING THE DOLLOPS.
  • TOP STRAWBERRY LAYER WITH ANOTHER 1/3 CREAM CHEESE/WHIPPED CREAM MIXTURE. GENTLY SPREAD IT EVENLY OVER THE STRAWBERRY LAYER, COVERING IT COMPLETELY.
  • DROP BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING BY LARGE SPOONFUL DOLLOPS ON TOP OF THE SECOND CREAM CHEESE LAYER. GENTLY SPREAD BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING EVENLY OVER THE CREAM CHEESE LAYER, CONNECTING THE DOLLOPS.
  • TOP BLUEBERRY LAYER WITH REMAINING 1/3 CREAM CHEESE/WHIPPED CREAM MIXTURE. GENTLY SPREAD IT EVENLY OVER THE BLUEBERRY LAYER, COVERING IT COMPLETELY.
  • SPRINKLE THE TOP WITH THE 3 TABLESPOONS RESERVED GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS.
  • COVER AND REFRIGERATE OVERNIGHT BEFORE SERVING.
  • TRACEY’S NOTES:
  • I USE THE “PREMIUM” STRAWBERRY AND BLUEBERRY PIE FILLINGS SO THERE ARE MORE BERRIES IN THE FRUIT FILLING LAYERS.
  • YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE 2 (8 OUNCE EACH) CONTAINERS OF COOL WHIP NON-DAIRY WHIPPED TOPPING FOR THE HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM IN THE CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE IF YOU’D LIKE. WE DO, HOWEVER, PREFER THIS DESSERT MADE WITH HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM.
  • OVERNIGHT CHILLING HELPS THE LAYERS SET AND MELD TOGETHER — I DO NOT RECOMMEND SHORT-CUTTING THIS STEP. WE’VE FOUND THE LAYERS ARE PRONE TO SLIDING APART WHEN SERVED IF CHILLED FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS. LONGER CHILLING TIME SEEMS TO HELP THE LAYERS BETTER JOIN TOGETHER, AND THEN STAY INTACT WHEN CUT.
