To make this dessert, you’ll need an electric hand or stand mixer, a large mixing bowl, a rubber spatula, a 9×13-inch dish, and a serrated knife for slicing. A piping bag is optional if you want to garnish it with extra flair.
Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for smooth blending. Be sure to whip the cream to stiff peaks for the best structure. Chill the cake for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best for perfect texture. Use ripe, firm strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh strawberries, sliced
2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 box graham crackers
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until fluffy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Layer graham crackers over the cream. Spread a third of the remaining cream over the crackers, then add a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat layers two more times, ending with strawberries on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Try substituting raspberries or blueberries for the strawberries or adding lemon zest to the cream mixture for a citrus twist. For a chocolate version, use chocolate graham crackers and drizzle melted chocolate between layers.
