Happy 4th + No-Bake Cheesecake

Having a holiday in the middle of this week this year feels so random!  And although I do have today off, I still have to go in to work on Thursday and Friday, and truth be told, when you blog and freelance, there’s really no such thing as a “day off.”  Woke up this morning, hit the coffee, hit the blog.  But we have a few fun plans for the evening – including plenty of fireworks – and in Miami, they’re oh-so-pretty over the water – so I’m going to cram in as much work as I can until about 4pm and then I’m throwing on my red, white, and blue (kidding, kidding – dress and cardigan — uniform) and then it’s off to celebrate!

I saw this adorable recipe for no-bake cheesecake + berry + graham cracker crust trifle on Glorious Treats and I knew it would be a winner for tonight!  Plus, you can keep the cheesecake layers pretty low-fat by using reduced fat cream cheese and fat free cool whip.  Boys eat too fast to notice calories are missing, my husband included!

I’ll probably make this in one pretty glass dish for transportation’s sake!  (Though Glory’s version complete with twine and wooden spoons is too cute for words!) Recipe after the jump!
