- Whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- Combine the softened cream cheese and sugar with a little vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure it is well mixed.8 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tbsp vanilla
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Separate the cheesecake mixture into three bowls and color them with red, white and blue food coloring. I used a little less for the blue because there aren't as many blue NILLA Wafers on the flag.red and blue food coloring or gel, white sprinkles
- Using a decorating bag, top the nine cookies in the top left corner with the cheesecake filling. This will resemble the American flag when you're finished. Add white sprinkles to each.
- Top the rest of the wafers with red and white cheesecake, starting with red and alternating the colors in each row.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Dab the bottom of the cookies with a little bit of frosting before arranging them on the tray. This will help keep the cookies from sliding around if you have to move the tray.
