Step 1

In a stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer, beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Step 2

Place a very thin layer of cream on the bottom of a 9x9 square pan. Next, add a single layer of graham crackers. Top with 1/3 of the whipped cream and smooth with a spatula. Add 1/3 of the strawberries in an even layer. Repeat layers 2 more times, ending with strawberries. Arrange the berries in a pretty pattern, if desired.

Step 3

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
