Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust
    In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Freeze the crust for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Whipped Cream
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
    In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine with Strawberries
    Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated. Add the chopped strawberries and fold until evenly distributed.
  5. Assemble the Dessert
    Spread the strawberry-cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Serve
    Let the dessert sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting. Garnish with fresh strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Customization Ideas

  • Use Different Berries: Substitute or mix in blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a berry medley.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Add a chocolate drizzle over each slice for a touch of decadence.
  • Add Lemon Zest: Stir a bit of lemon zest into the filling for a bright, citrusy note.

Tips for Success

  • Freeze Until Firm: Make sure the dessert is completely firm before slicing for cleaner pieces.
  • Cream Cheese Softness: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Storage: Keep any leftovers in the freezer, covered, for up to a week.

Serving Suggestions

  • Add Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream on top adds a finishing touch.
  • With Fresh Mint: Garnish with mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness.
