1packagegraham crackersabout 9 to 12 full crackers, broken to fit
2cupswhipped creamchilled (store-bought or homemade)
2cupsfresh strawberrieswashed and sliced thinly
1cupstrawberry jamslightly warmed to spread easily
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until completely smooth and lump-free, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
In a separate large bowl, gently fold the chilled whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions. Use a spatula and fold slowly to keep the mixture light and airy — stop when no streaks remain, about 20 to 30 gentle folds.
Choose a 9x13-inch glass or ceramic dish. Layer the bottom of the dish with graham crackers, breaking pieces as needed to fit and cover the surface in a single layer. Lightly press them down so subsequent layers sit evenly.
Spread a generous layer (about one-third) of the cream cheese mixture over the graham crackers, smoothing with a spatula to the edges. Aim for an even thickness to ensure balanced bites.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries across the cream, then spoon and gently spread a thin layer of warmed strawberry jam over the strawberries for extra sweetness and shine.
Repeat the graham cracker, cream cheese, strawberry, and jam layers until you run out of ingredients. Finish with a final layer of whipped cream on top for a pretty finish.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best sliceable results. Chill time allows the crackers to soften slightly and the layers to set for clean slices. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and ensure a silky filling. For a firmer slice, let the lasagna chill overnight.
