Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Create the Graham Cracker Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a baking dish to form a crust.
- Whip the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture.
- Layer the First Cheesecake Filling: Layer half of the cheesecake filling over the crust, followed by half of the sliced strawberries.
- Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layers with the remaining cheesecake filling and strawberries.
- Chill the Cake: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious no-bake dessert!
Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in your filling. Don’t skip the chilling step; it helps the layers meld together.
