No Bake Flag Dessert Recipe

  • 1 box of sugar or shortbread cookies (preferably square or rectangular in shape)
  • 1 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature) 
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • fruit (for the flag blueberries and strawberries)

Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread over cookies. Arrange cookies in a flag type shape. Add blueberries and strawberries as desired. Best if eaten right away or within an hour or so. Cookies begin to soften after longer periods. Any fruit can be substituted for different holidays or occasions.

The cookies I purchased are above and I just looked at my local store until I found something that looked appropriate. I spread them out into the shape before applying the cream cheese just to see how many I needed. I did two stripes of strawberries and one corner with blueberries but you could definitely mix that up more. This dessert is so simple yet soooo good! Your family will love it! Plus it is easy enough for any night of the week.
