📝 Preparation Steps

Step

For the crust: Process the graham crackers and brown sugar in a food processor until finely ground, about ⏱️ 1 minute. With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted butter. Process the mixture until it is the texture of coarse sand.

Step

Spray a 9-by-9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Transfer the graham cracker mixture to the dish and press the mixture into the bottom, using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to make an even layer (press firmly). Freeze for at least ⏱️ 20 minutes and up to 2 days.

Step

For the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

Step

Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in the same bowl used to beat the heavy cream (no need to wipe it clean). Beat on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and smooth, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Remove from the mixer and whisk in a third of the whipped cream by hand, then gently fold in the rest using a rubber spatula. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in an even layer.

Step

In a medium bowl, stir together the strawberry gelatin and 1/2 cup boiling water until dissolved, about ⏱️ 2 minutes.

Step

Beat 1/3 cup of the strawberry gelatin into the remaining cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Spread over the top of the plain cream cheese layer.

Step

Toss the sliced strawberries in the remaining strawberry gelatin to fully coat. Spoon the strawberries over the cream cheese in an even layer. Chill until set, at least ⏱️ 4 hours and up to ⏱️ 12 hours. (If chilling longer than ⏱️ 4 hours, cover with plastic.)
