Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 sheets Graham crackers
- 1 pound Fresh strawberries
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash, hull, and thinly slice the strawberries. Set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture evenly across the bottom.
Place a single layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking the crackers as needed to fit the dish.
Spread another layer of whipped cream over the graham crackers, followed by an even layer of sliced strawberries.
Repeat the layers (graham crackers, whipped cream, strawberries) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of whipped cream and strawberries.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to soften and flavors to meld together.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
