→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 box of graham crackers
02 -
1 pound of fresh strawberries, sliced and hulled
03 -
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
04 -
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
05 -
2 cups of heavy cream for whipping
→ Garnish
06 -
Optional: a few mint leaves and extra strawberries
# Steps:
01 -
With an electric mixer or whisk, whip the heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a big bowl until it forms stiff peaks.
02 -
Take a 9x9-inch dish and spread a little whipped cream on the bottom to coat it lightly.
03 -
Lay down a layer of graham crackers over the cream, snapping them into smaller pieces to fill any gaps.
04 -
Spread whipped cream on top of the crackers and evenly scatter a layer of sliced strawberries on top of that.
05 -
Add more layers, repeating the steps of graham crackers, whipped cream, and strawberries, and finish with whipped cream and strawberries on top.
06 -
Cover the dish and pop it into the fridge for at least 4 hours, though overnight works even better for the layers to settle.
07 -
Right before serving, toss on some extra berries and garnish with mint leaves if you’d like.
# Notes:
01 -
Want it sweeter? Mix strawberries with a spoonful of sugar before using them.
02 -
Swap out graham crackers with digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers if preferred.

It’s best if you assemble this a day early to let everything meld together perfectly.
