Ingredients

Scale

Crust

1 package Graham Crackers, crushed into fine crumbs (About 10–12 sheets)
6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted

Filling

8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
8 ounces Whipped Topping, thawed (can substitute with homemade whipped cream)

Topping

3 cups Fresh Strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Mix well until all crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
Press the crust: Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, creating an even layer. Allow it to set while preparing the filling.
Make the cream cheese filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined and light.
Assemble first layers: Spread half of the cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared crust layer in the baking dish.
Add strawberry layer: Evenly layer half of the sliced fresh strawberries over the cream cheese filling.
Repeat filling layer: Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberries, smoothing it out.
Top with strawberries: Finish with a final layer of the remaining sliced strawberries, spreading them to cover the surface.
Garnish: Optionally sprinkle powdered sugar over the top layer of strawberries for added sweetness and visual appeal.
Chill the dessert: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
Serve: Once chilled and firm, cut into squares and serve cold for a refreshing dessert.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
For a lighter version, substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream made from heavy cream and a little sugar.
This dessert is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated until serving.
To prevent the crust from softening excessively, chill it separately before adding toppings if time permits.
Feel free to substitute the graham crackers with digestive biscuits or similar crackers if desired.
