Ingredients

  • 1 quart (32 ounces) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 heaping cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 pounds strawberries sliced
  • 4 sleeves graham crackers, about 30 graham cracker squares

Instructions

  • Combine whipping cream, vanilla and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Divide cream into 3 equal portions.
  • Divide strawberries into 3 equal portions.
  • With a rubber spatula, smear a small portion of whipped cream to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish to hold the first layer of graham crackers to the bottom. Line the bottom with graham crackers, breaking into pieces so that the bottom is completely covered. Top with 1/3 of whipped cream, top with strawberries.
  • Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, whipped cream and strawberries.
  • Top with a final layer of graham crackers, whipped cream and strawberries.
  • Cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2-3 hours. Better overnight.
  • Cut and serve. Best when eaten within 2 days. (trust me, that's never a problem! ;) )

Notes

Add blueberries to make this into a perfectly patriotic dessert!
