Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 sheets Graham crackers
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 3 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cups Raspberry jam
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the raspberry jam and lemon juice, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well-blended. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to fit.
Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer. Then sprinkle 1 cup of fresh raspberries over the cream layer.
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the raspberries, followed by another 1/3 of the cream mixture and another cup of raspberries. Repeat once more with a final layer of graham crackers, cream mixture, and raspberries.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set and the graham crackers to soften.
Before serving, garnish with additional raspberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
