The middle layer is thick, creamy, and pale pink with small bits of red fruit mixed inside. The top layer is a crumbly, golden brown topping that looks crunchy. On top of the dessert sits a fresh, whole strawberry with a green stem. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 22 full sheet graham crackers)
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

6 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup diced strawberries

2 1/2 cups whole strawberries

Instructions

Step 1: Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press half of this mixture firmly onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Save the remaining crumbs for later.

Step 3: Place the whole strawberries in a blender and puree until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside the strawberry puree.
Step 4: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on low speed for 1 minute, then increase to high speed and continue beating until stiff peaks form, approximately 4 minutes. Set aside.
Step 5: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar on low speed until creamy. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and the pureed strawberries. Beat until fully combined.

Step 6: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Step 7: Fold in the diced strawberries. Spread this mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the pan.
Step 8: Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs over the top, then cover and freeze until firm before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the strawberry puree.
Substitute fresh raspberries or blueberries for the strawberries for a different fruit twist.
Use crushed vanilla wafers instead of graham crackers for a sweeter crust.

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.

Storage

Store the dessert covered in the freezer for up to 1 week. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Leftovers can be kept refrigerated for 2-3 days but may lose firmness.
