No Bake Summer Berry Lasagna
ncoming holidays, Memorial Day and 4th of July inspired me to make this delicious, festive and fun RED WHITE and BLUE DESSERT.
Speaking about red, white and blue, let me tell you more about this layered dessert.
First one, RED VELVET LAYER at the bottom is graham cracker crust flavored with strawberry jam.
Second is white CHEESECAKE LAYER with some fresh strawberries.
Dark blue layer is BLUEBERRY JELLO SALAD. It’s mixture of blueberry pie filling, crushed pineapple and gelatin.
Top layer is just simple whipped cream garnished with a lot of fresh strawberries and blueberries, drizzled with white chocolate.
Three-day weekend upon us is perfect time for you to try this easy No Bake Summer Berry Lasagna recipe dessert. It’s really simple to make, it doesn’t take much of active prep time. But It’s the best to be made a day before serving because it need 5-6 hours to set.
