Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups strawberries
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 container whipped topping
- 1 package graham crackers
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup milk
Garnish and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp fresh strawberry sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and melt butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to create a uniform base layer.
- In a mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until smooth, gradually incorporating powdered sugar and vanilla extract to develop a creamy, sweet consistency.
- Gently fold whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light and airy filling that will provide a delicate texture to the dessert.
- Slice fresh strawberries into thin, uniform pieces, reserving some whole berries for garnishing the final dish.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust, ensuring complete coverage and a smooth surface.
- Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries across the cream cheese layer, distributing them evenly to maximize fruit flavor in each bite.
- Add another layer of cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberries, carefully smoothing the surface to create a clean presentation.
- Sprinkle white chocolate chips and remaining strawberry slices across the top layer for added visual appeal and textural contrast.
- Refrigerate the lasagna for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set completely.
- Before serving, drizzle fresh strawberry sauce over the top and garnish with mint leaves for a sophisticated finishing touch.
Notes
- Select graham crackers with minimal added sugar for a lighter base that complements the sweet strawberry filling.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smoother, lump-free mixture that blends effortlessly with other ingredients.
- Slice strawberries with a sharp knife to maintain clean, precise cuts that create an attractive layered presentation.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute graham crackers with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs to accommodate dietary restrictions.
