Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 14 oz graham crackers about 3 sleeves
- 2 lb fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 2.5 cup heavy whipping cream well-chilled
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp fine salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Chill a large mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes to help the cream whip faster.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
- Pour in the cold heavy cream. Whip on medium-high until medium-stiff peaks form.
- Spread a thin swipe of cream in a 9x13-inch dish to anchor the first layer.
- Arrange a snug layer of graham crackers over the bottom of the dish.
- Top with about one-third of the cream, then scatter a generous layer of sliced strawberries.
- Repeat layers—crackers, cream, strawberries—two more times, finishing with cream on top.
- Decorate with remaining berries. Cover and chill at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the crackers soften.
- Slice into squares and serve cold.
Notes
Variation: Swap in chocolate grahams or add a thin drizzle of warmed strawberry jam between layers for extra berry flavor. For cleaner slices, freeze the cake for 20–30 minutes before cutting. Store covered in the fridge up to 3 days.
