Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh strawberries
- 200 grams Graham crackers
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries, pat them dry, and slice them thinly. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt the unsalted butter and mix it with the graham cracker crumbs until evenly combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square or rectangular pan to form a crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing it into an even layer.
Arrange a single layer of sliced strawberries over the cream cheese mixture.
Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberry layer, smoothing it out evenly.
Decorate the top with the remaining strawberry slices, arranging them in a decorative pattern, if desired.
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy and fruity no-bake strawberry dessert!
