Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 cups fresh blueberries

2 cups whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined and crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or individual serving cups to form the crust.

    Layer the Berries: In a separate bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries and blueberries together. You can add a tablespoon of sugar here if you prefer a sweeter fruit layer.

      Whip the Cream: If you're making homemade whipped cream, whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. If using store-bought, just ensure it’s ready for layering.

        Assemble the Dessert: Start by spreading a layer of whipped cream over the graham cracker crust. Next, add a layer of the mixed berries on top. Repeat this process, making a layered dessert with crust, whipped cream, and berries until you reach the top of the dish.

          Chill and Garnish: Cover the assembled dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves.

            Serve: Scoop out portions or slice into pieces for a shareable dessert. Enjoy your festive and refreshing patriotic berry delight!
