Ingredients
Graham Crackers
3 cups heavy whipping cream
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese (or instant vanilla pudding mix for a no-chill option)
Mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) for topping
Instructions
Crush graham crackers into large pieces to form the base layer in a 9×13-inch dish.
In a bowl, whip heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Spread half the whipped cream evenly over the graham cracker layer.
Crush a second layer of graham crackers and distribute them atop the cream.
Spread the remaining whipped cream carefully.
Garnish with a final layer of graham cracker pieces and fresh berries.
Chill for 6–8 hours before serving.
Notes
Use the coldest cream possible for optimal whipping.
Substitute cream cheese with instant vanilla pudding mix for a shorter prep time.
Adjust berry variety based on seasonality or personal preference.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
