Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment if desired for easy lifting.
- Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl, then fold into the cream cheese mixture with vanilla.
- Spread a thin layer of filling in the pan to anchor the first layer.
- Arrange graham crackers in a single layer, breaking pieces to fit gaps.
- Spread one-third of the filling over crackers, then scatter strawberries evenly.
- Repeat layers two more times, finishing with filling on top. Smooth the surface neatly.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight until crackers soften and slices hold shape.
- Top with whipped cream, extra strawberries, and lemon zest if desired. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
For softer cake-like layers, chill overnight. For firmer slices, freeze 20 minutes before cutting. Freeze portions tightly wrapped for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator. Add berries just before top garnish for freshest look. Try blueberries, raspberries, chocolate drizzle, or coconut for flavor twists. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
