Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 200 grams Graham crackers
- 230 grams Cream cheese
- 240 ml Whipping cream
- 75 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Milk (for softening the graham crackers)
- 3 tablespoons Strawberry jam
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh strawberries and set aside 200 grams for topping. Slice the remaining 300 grams into thin pieces for layering.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
In a separate chilled bowl, whisk the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy filling.
Step 4
Dip each graham cracker quickly into the milk to soften, but do not let them become soggy.
Step 5
In a rectangular 8x8-inch dish or similar, spread a thin layer of the cream filling on the base to prevent sticking. Add a layer of softened graham crackers on top.
Step 6
Spread a generous layer of the cream filling over the graham crackers, and top with a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layering process (graham crackers, cream filling, strawberries) until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with a final layer of cream filling.
Step 7
For decoration, slice the reserved strawberries into halves or quarters and arrange them over the top layer of cream filling. Optionally, brush the strawberries with strawberry jam for a glossy finish.
Step 8
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the crackers to soften into a cake-like texture.
Step 9
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your no bake strawberry cake!
