Description

A no-bake dessert with layers of creamy whipped cream cheese filling, fresh strawberries, and graham crackers that soften into a cake-like texture. Perfect for warm days or casual gatherings, and even better after chilling overnight.

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

1 box graham crackers (about 14–16 crackers)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Beat the heavy whipping cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with graham crackers, breaking them to fit as needed.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the crackers and smooth it out.
Arrange half of the sliced strawberries evenly over the cream layer.
Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, the remaining cream cheese mixture, and the rest of the strawberries.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Before serving, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the top for a bright finish.

Notes

For variety, substitute strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or a berry mix.

Chocolate graham crackers or vanilla wafers can be used instead of plain graham crackers.

Add chocolate ganache or cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.

Mix a little Greek yogurt into the cream cheese for extra tang.

Best made the night before for optimal texture and flavor.
