Creamy cheesecake dessert topped with a Chiquita banana and berry patriotic flair!
Ingredients
- 4 Packages (8 ounces each)s Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/3 Cup + 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tub Cool Whip (thawed)
- Fresh Berries
- 2-3 Chiquita Bananas
- 1/3 Package Graham Crackers (finely crushed)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with mixer until smooth. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Gently stir in cool whip until well blended. | |
| Step 3 | |
 Fill individual serving dishes half way with the cream cheese mixture. You can do this easily and evenly using a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off, but you could also use a spoon, or piping bag. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Top the mixture with a layer of graham cracker crumbs. Then, fill to the top with more of the cream cheese mixture. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Lightly sprinkle the top with additional graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate for four hours, then serve chilled. | |
| Step 6 | |
 Before you serve, top with a red berry (we used strawberries), a blueberry or two, and a Chiquita banana slice cut into the shape of a star. | |
My name is Angie, and I'm a homeschooling mom of four who fills my days with ABC's and mounds of laundry. My husband of 13 years and I have been blessed with two girls (ages 11 and 9), and two boys (ages 7 and 3). I've become an expert at flying by the seat of my pants, and after a normal tiring day with the kiddos, I like to curl up on the couch and escape into a good book.
