Red, White, and Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

June 26, 2025

Red, white, and blueberry cheesecake bars are the perfect dessert for summer celebrations, especially the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or any festive gathering. These colorful bars combine a buttery graham cracker crust, a creamy cheesecake filling, and a vibrant topping of fresh strawberries and blueberries. They are sweet, tangy, and absolutely irresistible.

The base of these bars starts with a classic graham cracker crust. Crushed graham crackers are mixed with melted butter and a touch of sugar, then pressed into the bottom of a baking pan to create a crunchy, buttery foundation. This layer adds the perfect contrast to the smooth and rich cheesecake filling that comes next.

The cheesecake layer is made from cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract. It is velvety, luscious, and lightly sweetened, offering just the right amount of tang to balance the sweetness of the fruit. Once the cheesecake is baked and cooled, it becomes the perfect canvas for the patriotic topping.

Fresh strawberries and blueberries are arranged on top to create that iconic red, white, and blue look. The strawberries bring a juicy sweetness while the blueberries add a pop of tartness. You can lay them out in stripes, create a flag design, or scatter them casually for a rustic, festive appearance.

Not only are these cheesecake bars visually stunning, but they are also easy to slice and serve, making them ideal for backyard barbecues, picnics, or potlucks. They hold up well in warm weather if kept chilled and are always a crowd favorite wherever they go.

Red, white, and blueberry cheesecake bars pair wonderfully with a glass of sparkling wine, lemonade, or a chilled rosé. The bright flavors and creamy texture make them the perfect ending to any summer meal.

Whether you are hosting a party or simply want to make something special, these cheesecake bars deliver on flavor, texture, and presentation. They are festive, refreshing, and guaranteed to be a hit with family and friends.

    Cheesecake is usually good, but this one is just okay. Not my favorite.

    I dunno, my cheesecake mix was more like soup. Did I do something wrong?

    1. 4 stars
      Maybe you didn’t mix it enough? Sometimes the cream cheese needs to be really smooth before adding the eggs. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us!

    2. 3 stars
      Soup? That’s strange, mine came out solid. Did you measure the ingredients right? Especially the eggs and cream cheese?

    So simple and delicious! The combination of berries is perfect.

    Can you make these bars with other fruits? I wanna try with mangoes next time!

    Easy and tasty! But I used a bigger pan and it got burnt, so caveat emptor!

    No thanks. Didn’t like it, tasted weird. But I guess others enjoyed it?

    Yummm! Best cheesecake ever, even though I forgot to add sugar!

    1. User avatar jacinto.hilpert91 says:

      Wait, how can it be the best cheesecake if you forgot the sugar? That makes no sense!

    2. User avatar nathan.wuckert says:

      That’s impressive! Even without sugar, it sounds delicious! 😊

    ewwwww, I dont like blueberry lol. Can you make it with just strawberry?

  14. 2 stars
    Why is everyone acting like this is some revolutionary recipe? It’s just cheesecake with fruit.

  15. User avatar Rulindil says:

    I followed the recipe, but it tasted kinda bland. Maybe add more vanilla?

    1. User avatar morgan.baumbach74 says:

      5 stars
      I think that’s a good idea! Sometimes a little extra vanilla can really bring out the flavors. Did you use pure vanilla extract or imitation? Pure is the way to go.

    I think the crust needs more butter. It was too dry for my taste!

    1. 2 stars
      But butter is what makes it good! You can’t just take it out! Maybe you did something wrong?

    2. 4 stars
      I thought the crust was just right! Maybe try adding some cream or a splash of milk instead of more butter?

  17. User avatar Papahl and family says:

    Pretty decent recipe! Maybe I’ll add more strawberries next time for extra flavor.

    Cheesecake is a dessert, but I thought this had too many fruits. Maybe less berries would taste better.

    1. 3 stars
      Less berries? I dunno, sounds kinda boring to me. I love the berry explosion! But I guess everyone has their taste. 🤷‍♂️

    2. User avatar florencio.nikolaus1958 says:

      I totally disagree! The more fruit, the better! It adds freshness and flavor to the cheesecake! 🍓🍇

    Good, but a little too sweet for my taste. Would reduce the sugar next time. 🍰

    Not bad, but I was expecting more flavor. Where’s the lemon juice? Felt kinda plain.
