Crust:
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; blend with a fork until crumbs are moistened. Set aside 3 T. crumbs for topping.
Spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray; press crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Cream Cheese Mixture:
Use an electric mixer to cream together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 t. vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whip the whipping cream, granulated sugar, and remaining 1 t. vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
By hand, mix together whipped cream and cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Assemble the Layers:
Spread one third of the cream cheese/whipped cream mixture (about 3 c.) evenly over the crust.
Drop strawberry pie filling by large spoonful dollops on top of the cream cheese layer; gently spread it out evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top strawberry layer with another third of the cream cheese/whipped cream mixture, gently spreading it evenly over the strawberry layer, covering it completely.
Drop blueberry pie filling by large spoonful dollops on top of the second cream cheese layer, gently spreading the filling evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the blueberry layer with the remaining third cream cheese/whipped cream mixture. Gently spread it evenly over the blueberry layer, covering it completely.
Sprinkle the top with the reserved graham cracker crumbs.
Cover. Refrigerate overnight before serving to help flavors meld together and help set the layers together so that they stay intact and don't slide.
Serve, garnished with fresh blueberries and strawberries.
12-14 servings.
*Premium pie fillings have more berries in the fruit.
