Indulge in the ultimate no-bake treat with this easy Layered Strawberry and Cream Dessert, a perfect blend of fresh, juicy strawberries, velvety whipped cream, and buttery graham cracker crumbs. Ready in just 20 minutes, this effortless recipe transforms simple ingredients into an elegant dessert thatβs ideal for summer gatherings or weeknight indulgence. Each layer bursts with flavor, from the macerated strawberries that release their natural sweetness to the creamy, fluffy peaks of vanilla-infused whipped cream. The crushed cookies provide a satisfying crunch, balancing the smooth textures. Whether served individually in glasses or as a show-stopping trifle, this chilled dessert is as stunning as it is delicious. A must-try for fans of fruity, no-cook desserts!
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces. Toss the strawberries with the granulated sugar in a bowl and let them sit for 10 minutes to macerate and release their juices.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
In another bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
To assemble the dessert, take individual serving glasses or a large trifle dish. Start with a layer of the crushed cookie mixture at the bottom, pressing lightly to form the base.
Add a layer of the whipped cream on top of the cookie base, spreading it evenly.
Add a layer of macerated strawberries on top of the whipped cream, spooning a bit of the strawberry juice for extra flavor.
Repeat the layers (cookie crumbs, whipped cream, strawberries) until the glass or dish is filled, ending with a layer of strawberries on top for presentation.
Chill the assembled desserts in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this light and fruity dessert!
