Ingredients
Method
- Slice the strawberries and pat them dry with paper towels. Set a few slices aside for garnish.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. With the mixer running, slowly add the cold heavy cream and beat to stiff peaks, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of cream in a 9x13-inch dish and top with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking pieces to fill gaps.
- Spread one third of the remaining cream over the crackers and top with half of the strawberries.
- Repeat with crackers, cream and berries, then finish with a final layer of crackers and the remaining cream.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Crush the 3 remaining graham crackers and the freeze-dried strawberries into crumbs and stir in the melted butter.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the crunch topping and reserved strawberries over the top. Slice and serve cold.
