Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 200 grams sour cream
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams graham crackers
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into quarters. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir well until smooth.
Step 3
Using a food processor, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 4
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Mix the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs until the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 5
Spoon the graham cracker mixture into the base of serving glasses or bowls, pressing down gently to create a firm base layer.
Step 6
Spoon the sour cream mixture over the graham cracker base, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Add a layer of the quartered strawberries on top of the sour cream mixture.
Step 8
Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for added crunch.
Step 9
Garnish with a mint leaf for a pop of color, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving for a colder treat.
