Please tell me who doesn't love a fresh berry cake. I love all cake that's got fruit on top, and especially one that doesn't even require any baking! This Berry Good No-Bake Cake is a refrigerator cake with berries and whipped cream layered throughout....a favorite strawberry-blueberry recipe at our house.
1/4cupchocolate chips, I used semi sweet chocolate chips
Canned whipped topping, such as Redi-Whip
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped strawberries with the blueberries; set aside until it's time to assemble the cake.
Pour the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer (or your stand mixer), beat the whipping cream mixture until stiff peaks begin to form, then add the softened cream cheese chunks; beat just until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Cover the bottom of your dish with a single layer of graham crackers as they will best fit, breaking them apart at the perforations as needed. Spread 1/3 of the prepared whipped cream mixture onto the graham cracker base; sprinkle with 1/3 of the berry mixture. Repeat twice more, ending with the final layer of berries on top. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
To serve, cut the cake into pieces, then top each serving with a squirt of whipped cream and a drizzle of warm chocolate.
Notes
Feel free to substitute chocolate graham crackers in this recipe.
It's worth the effort to make whipped cream, but in a pinch you can substitute whipped topping (like Cool Whip, etc) or even pudding for layering with the graham crackers and the berries.
Make sure you chill this cake pretty well before you try to serve it. When it's chilled you can easily cut it into pieces - otherwise you'll have to scoop it out with a spoon to serve.
Use any assortment of berries you prefer - I also like to add chopped kiwi and mango for as nice pop of color.
