Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13×9 inch pan to create a level base.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, and granulated sugar until the texture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the air, until no streaks remain.
Spread the filling evenly over the crust and refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the structure to set properly.
Use a toothpick to score a flag pattern on the surface, then fill the marked areas with blueberry and cherry fillings and finish with star sprinkles.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, ensure your cream cheese is completely at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps. If you are serving this at an outdoor event, keep the cheesecake chilled until the last possible moment to maintain its structural integrity against the heat.
