Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 box graham crackers (about 14–16 crackers)

Instructions

1. Make the Cream Filling
   In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

   Add a layer of sliced strawberries.

   Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cream on top.

3. Chill
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight so the graham crackers soften and become cake-like.
