A creamy, delicious dessert that highlights fresh strawberries, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Hull and slice the strawberries, and toss them into a bowl. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar and let sit for about 10-15 minutes to create a lovely syrup.
  2. Make the Graham Cracker Crust: In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and remaining sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
  3. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the cream until you reach stiff peaks.
  4. Mix the Cream Cheese: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream mixture gently.
  5. Combine and Serve: Layer the cream cheese filling over the crust, then top with sweetened strawberries and their syrup.
  6. Chill Time: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  7. Slice and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve chilled, optionally garnished with chocolate drizzle or mint leaves.
