Strawberry Delight
A delicious and refreshing no-bake dessert that combines sweet strawberries with a creamy filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons sugar
For the filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup cold whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
For the topping
- 10 pieces strawberries sliced
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
- Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish to form the crust.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold the cold whipping cream and strawberry gelatin into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- Slice the strawberries and arrange them beautifully on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is soft to create a smoother filling. Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Try adding a layer of your favorite fruit on top for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
