Want a really simple treat that is easy to throw together in a matter of minutes for a party of 6? I can help you out with that and I'm tying it in with Memorial Day Weekend and 4th of July with our nation's red, white and blue Patriotic Berry Explosion Cheesecake Party Desserts.
They will rock your celebration! 🙂
Lush, fresh-picked blackberries and juicy strawberries sit proudly on top of yummy whipped cheesecakes with graham cracker crumbs to make it all so perfectly, star-spangled for your holiday weekends. It's a berry cheesecake explosion!
Everyone will be digging into these sweet treats!
This is so easy to throw together and you can eat it right away!
I love this dessert because it tastes so light and it's simple yet elegant. Sometimes you just can't go wrong with simple and if it has cheesecake involved, is there really anything else to talk about?
Oh wait! Yes, there is. It's also no-bake and wonderful for summer parties and celebrations and after dinner desserts for your family, because you love them, right? Best part--You get your own personal dessert too.
I personally like that I get my own personal dessert, don't you? 🙂
And if any are leftovers, unless there's an actual written note on top someone claimed it or a verbal comment when they went in fridge, remember...it's a free country!
You can do what you want or so they say!

No bake is really the best in the summer isn't it!? These look soooo fantastic. I'm often scrambling to come up with a quick dessert idea when we have impromptu guests for dinner. I will definitely keep these in mind. It's always wonderful to have your own little individual dessert!!
ChocolaTess says
Oh yea Heather! It tastes so much better with lots of berries like you said and quick! 🙂
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Pamela!
heather (delicious not gorgeous) says
cheesecake that i don't have to bake in a waterbath and then let chill overnight? yes, please! and all those berries ?? i had a slice of cheesecake last night that was topped with one lonely raspberry, and would have been much happier with something that had a ton of berries like this dessert instead (:
