Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Filling:
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1/4 cup berry jam (for glaze, optional)
