Recipe FAQs

→ Could I swap fresh strawberries with frozen ones?

Sure thing! Just make sure to thaw and pat them dry first so the topping doesn’t end up too runny.

→ How much time will I need to make it?

It takes about half an hour to put together, but you’ll need to let it chill for at least 4 hours to firm up nicely.

→ Can this be prepped in advance?

Definitely! You can make this the day before and keep it in the fridge—it’ll taste even better as the flavors settle.

→ Do I have to stick with a graham crust?

Nope! Try a base made from crushed chocolate cookies or vanilla wafers for a fun new taste twist.

→ What’s the best way to keep leftovers fresh?

Put any leftovers in a sealed container and refrigerate them for up to three days. They’ll stay delicious!

→ Is it possible to make a dairy-free version?

Yes, you can swap out the cream cheese and heavy cream for non-dairy options. Just note the flavor and texture could come out a bit different.

Ingredients

→ Base Crust

01 A single 9-inch crust made of crushed graham crackers

→ Topping with Strawberries

02 5 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered, split into portions
03 Half a cup of plain sugar
04 1 ½ tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken
05 3 teaspoons of squeezed lemon juice

→ Creamy Filling

06 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, left out at room temp
07 Half a cup of powdered sugar
08 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor
09 1 cup of heavy whipping cream

Steps

Step 01

Take 2 cups of the strawberries and mix them in a small pot with the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Heat the mixture on medium-low, stirring until the strawberries throw off their juices. Smash them gently using a spoon or potato masher.

Step 02

Crank the heat up to medium-high and let it boil, stirring often to stop it from sticking. Let it bubble for a minute, then turn off the heat and allow it to cool down.

Step 03

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth. Toss in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then stir until mixed. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix until it's nice and creamy.

Step 04

Pour the creamy mixture into the graham cracker crust and spread it evenly with a spatula. Put it aside.

Step 05

Combine the last 3 cups of fresh berries with the cooled glaze, making sure they're all coated. Carefully spread the topping across the creamy layer.

Step 06

Cover the dessert and pop it in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours. Once it's firm, slice it up and enjoy!
