Instructions
Prepare the chantilly cream
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Beat on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Beat cold cream cheese for 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1/3 of the heavy whipping cream and beat until combined.
- Repeat until no there's no more heavy cream. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whip for 2-3 minutes or until soft peaks form. Do not overmix. Taste and adjust sugar as needed.
Make the jam layer and syrup
- In a medium bowl, add jam and fresh raspberries. Smash and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add milk, condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir to combine until dissolved.
Assemble the layers
- Lightly dip each lady finger in the milk mixture. Arrange in a single layer in a 9"x13" pan.
- Top with 1/3 of the cream of the chantilly cream over the ladyfingers. Use an offset spatula to spread a smooth even layer.
- Spread the entire jam over the cream into an even layer.
- Continue layering the ladyfingers and 1/3 of the chantilly cream. Make sure to reserve enough for the final layer.
Create the flag design
- Use an offset spatula to make sure the top layer is smooth.
- Use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to outline the sections of the flag. Create a rectangle in the upper left corner and 3 horizontal even lines.
- Layer the blackberries and blueberries in the corner.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip to pipe thick straight lines on the horizontal outlines.
- Arrange the strawberries, raspberries and cherries in between the white frosting.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for best results. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
