This is a yearly tradition in my home since I found this recipe in TOH in 1994. My family and friends look forward to it every year. I make it only on the 4 of July or Memorial day, just because I love the idea of the tradition, but would be a great desert any time. I hope you like it as much as we have. Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages each cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
2 cups heavy cream, whipped |
2 quarts strawberries, halved, divided |
2 quarts blueberries, divided |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and extracts until fluffy.
2. Fold in the whipped cream.
3. Place a third of the mixture in a 4qt bowl.
4. Reserve 20 strawberries halves and 1/2 cup of blueberries for garnish.
5. Layer half of the remaining strawberries and blueberries over cream mixture.
