Step 1

Line a 9×9″ pan with the graham crackers and set aside.

Step 2

Pour the heavy cream into a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer on medium-speed until a stiff peak forms, about 4 to 5 minutes. Then add the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Mix just until smooth.

Step 3

Spread 1/3 of the mixture onto the graham crackers. Then layer 1/3 of the sliced strawberries on top. Repeat with 3 layers. Save the strawberries you’re putting on top, until ready to serve.

Step 4

Place cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour, to allow the graham crackers to soften.

Step 5

Add the top layer of strawberries right before serving. Slice and drizzle chocolate on top if desired.
