Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized pie dish to form an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press it down firmly. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the strawberry jam slightly until it becomes pourable. Drizzle the jam over the strawberries, creating a swirl effect.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is firm and well-chilled.
- Slice into squares or serve directly from the dish. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired.
Enjoy your enchanting, no-bake strawberry treat!
