Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 200 grams Graham crackers
- 230 grams Cream cheese
- 240 ml Whipping cream
- 75 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Milk (for softening the graham crackers)
- 3 tablespoons Strawberry jam
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries and set aside 200 grams for topping. Slice the remaining 300 grams into thin pieces for layering.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a separate chilled bowl, whisk the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy filling.
Dip each graham cracker quickly into the milk to soften, but do not let them become soggy.
In a rectangular 8x8-inch dish or similar, spread a thin layer of the cream filling on the base to prevent sticking. Add a layer of softened graham crackers on top.
Spread a generous layer of the cream filling over the graham crackers, and top with a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layering process (graham crackers, cream filling, strawberries) until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with a final layer of cream filling.
For decoration, slice the reserved strawberries into halves or quarters and arrange them over the top layer of cream filling. Optionally, brush the strawberries with strawberry jam for a glossy finish.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the crackers to soften into a cake-like texture.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your no bake strawberry cake!
