Strawberry Delight is a layered dessert with a graham cracker base, fresh strawberries, no-bake cheesecake and homemade whipped cream.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (240g) graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 2 lbs (32oz) fresh strawberries, washed and dried
  • 16 ounces (452g) full-fat cream cheese at room temperature
  • ¼ cup (48g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (236ml) heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup (65g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry Jello mix
  • 1 cup (236ml) heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup (65g) powdered sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Grind the graham crackers into a fine crumb using a food process or blender. Combine with melted butter and stir until the crackers are coated. Press into a 9×9 pan. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

  2. 2

    Thoroughly wash and dry all the strawberries, and remove the stems. First, dice enough strawberries (about the size of a dime) to fill 1 cup. Set aside. Then chop all the remaining strawberries lengthwise and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside. 

  3. 3

    Layer the sliced strawberries over the graham cracker crust, overlapping and filling the gaps.
