Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 package (about 8 oz) graham crackers

• 2–3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

• Optional: mint leaves or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

1. Whip the Cream

   • In a bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

2. Layer the Cake

   • In a 9×9-inch pan (or similar), place a layer of graham crackers.

   • Spread a layer of whipped cream over the crackers.

   • Add a layer of sliced strawberries.

   • Repeat layers (crackers → cream → strawberries) until ingredients are used, ending with whipped cream on top.

3. Chill

   • Cover and refrigerate for 4–6 hours or overnight. This allows the crackers to soften and absorb flavors.

4. Serve

   • Slice and garnish with extra strawberries, mint, or chocolate shavings if desired.

Tips

• For a faster version, use pre-sliced strawberries and slightly crush the graham crackers.

• You can substitute angel food cake slices for graham crackers for a lighter texture.

• Keeps well in the fridge for 2–3 days, but fresh strawberries are best.

💡 Bonus: Add a drizzle of strawberry syrup or balsamic glaze on top for extra flavor contrast.

If you want, I can make a super quick 3-step version that’s ready in 1 hour with minimal cleanup.
