Description
This no-bake layered dessert features a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and fresh strawberries for a refreshing, crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Layer:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Topping Layers:
1 (16 oz) container fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
½ cup graham cracker crumbs (reserved)
5–6 whole strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
In a bowl, mix 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish and freeze for 10–15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Fold in one container of whipped topping and spread over the chilled crust.
Arrange sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top with the remaining container of whipped topping and smooth the surface.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
Before serving, garnish with whole strawberries and sprinkle with reserved graham cracker crumbs.
Notes
Use homemade whipped cream in place of frozen topping if desired.
For a tangy twist, add a thin layer of strawberry gelatin and berries between layers.
Drain frozen strawberries well to avoid excess moisture.
