• There are 4 layers to this dessert. Make each layer in this order.

Graham Crust (and topping)

• NOTE: This makes both the crust AND topping. Once mixed, make sure to separate it into two portions: 2 cups for the crust and 1/2 cup for the topping.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Use a food processor to make the graham cracker crumbs. You will need about 40 graham crackers to get about 2 1/2 cups of crumbs. Transfer the graham cracker crumbs to a bowl.

  2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• Add the melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs along with the brown sugar. Mix well.

  1/2 cup butter, melted, 2 tbsp brown sugar
• Measure out 2 cups for the crust (set 1/2 cup aside for the topping). Press 2 cups of the graham cracker mixture into a 9x9 baking dish, in an even layer.
• Bake for 5 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool completely before adding the fillings. Tip: Once the dish is not too hot I actually like to put it in the freezer while I make the fillings.

Whipped Cream:

• Using a stand mixer, whip together the heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

  500 mL heavy whipping cream, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• SEPARATE the whipped cream: you will need 2 cups for the strawberry filling, and the rest for the whipped cream layer.

Strawberry Jello Fluff Filling:

• Using a stand electric mixer with the whisk attachment whip the cream cheese and strawberry jello powder together until fluffy, about 5 minutes.

  8 oz cream cheese (1 block), 1 - 85 g box strawberry jello
• Mix in the 2 cups of the whipped cream you had set aside.

  2 cups whipped cream
• Stir in the 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries.

Putting it all together:

• Spread the strawberry fluff mixture over the cooled graham cracker base.
• The spread the remaining whipped cream over the strawberry fluff cream cheese layer.
• Now sprinkle the 1/2 cup graham cracker crust topping mixture that you had set aside, over the top of the whipped cream layer.
• Cover and let chill for at least 8 hours, overnight is best!
• When you're ready to serve this dessert, top with the chopped or sliced strawberries.
• Serve chilled.
