Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 3 cups whipped cream or whipped topping, divided
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- Optional: 1/4 cup strawberry jam or pie filling
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts for topping
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9×13‑inch dish to form a crust. Chill to set.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
- Optional: Fold 1 cup of whipped cream into remaining cream cheese mixture for lightness. Spread on top of the previous layer.
- Layer sliced strawberries evenly over the creamy layer. Add a thin layer of strawberry jam or pie filling if using.
- Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with remaining whipped cream, fresh strawberry slices, and chopped nuts if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries to avoid excess moisture.
- Make ahead the night before for best flavor melding.
- Use lemon zest in filling for a citrus twist.
- Add white chocolate to the crust to prevent sogginess.
- Swap in mixed berries or flavored yogurt for variation.
