Red, White and Blue Dessert

I know this is a little late - considering 4th of July was...oh...almost a month ago! BUT, it is still July and you can make this desert anytime and make a different design on the top. I happened to make it for our Annual 4th of July party we had at our friends house, and it ended up being a hit!!




INGREDIENTS

2 Packages (8 ounces 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

HOW TO MAKE

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and extracts until fluffy. Fold in whipped cream (which means pour in slowly). Place a third of the mixture in a 4-qt bowl. Reserve 20 Strawberry halves and about a 1/2 of blueberries for top.
Layer half of the remaining strawberries and blueberries over cream mixture. Top with another third of the cream mixture and the remaining berries. Spread the remaining cream mixture on top. Use the reserved strawberries and blueberries to make a "insert here" on top. Makes about: 18 Servings
