Can I use Cool Whip instead of heavy whipping cream?

Yes. Eight ounces of thawed Cool Whip folds directly into the cream cheese mixture in place of the freshly whipped heavy cream for the most convenient substitution. The result is slightly lighter and most conveniently achieved without a mixer for the whipping step.

Can I use other fruits for the flag decoration?

Yes. Raspberries make the most beautifully vibrant red stripe alternative to sliced strawberries. Blackberries can substitute for blueberries for the blue field. The patriotic red-white-blue color combination is the most essential design element regardless of which specific berries are chosen.

How far in advance can I make these flag cheesecake bars?

These bars are most perfectly suited for making the day before serving. Prepare completely, decorate with berries, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. The overnight chill produces the most completely set and most cleanly sliceable individual bars with the most beautifully developed cream cheese flavor.
