Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 200 grams sour cream
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams graham crackers
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into quarters. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir well until smooth.
Using a food processor, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Mix the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs until the texture resembles wet sand.
Spoon the graham cracker mixture into the base of serving glasses or bowls, pressing down gently to create a firm base layer.
Spoon the sour cream mixture over the graham cracker base, spreading it evenly.
Add a layer of the quartered strawberries on top of the sour cream mixture.
Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for added crunch.
Garnish with a mint leaf for a pop of color, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving for a colder treat.
