Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Fresh strawberries sliced (for topping)
  • Sprinkles for topping
  • Edible glitter for topping

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Press this firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Once done, chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  • Make the Filling: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined and light.
  • Add Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until the mixture becomes airy. Add a few drops of pink food coloring until you achieve a light pink hue.
  • Incorporate Strawberries: Stir in the diced fresh strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cream mixture.
  • Assemble the Cake: Spoon the strawberry cream cheese mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
  • Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cake is fully set.
  • Decorate and Serve: When ready to serve, add dollops of whipped cream, sliced strawberries, colorful sprinkles, and a sprinkle of edible glitter for that magical touch. Slice, serve chilled, and watch everyone enjoy!
