Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh strawberries sliced (3-4 cups; quality is key!)
  • Heavy whipping cream 1 ½ pints
  • Sugar 4-5 tablespoons; just the right amount for sweetness
  • Whole graham crackers 12-15 pieces
  • Vanilla extract 1 ½ teaspoons; for added depth of flavor

Method
 

  1. Whip the Cream: Begin by combining the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whip these ingredients together until you achieve soft, airy peaks; the whipped cream itself is deliciously tempting.
  2. Layer the Graham Crackers: Take an 8x8-inch baking dish and create the first layer with whole graham crackers. There's no need to break them; simply fit them into the dish as neatly as possible.
  3. Spread the Whipped Cream: Generously layer the whipped cream over the graham crackers. Ensure that the cream is thickly spread to guarantee a rich and creamy experience in every bite.
  4. Add the Strawberries: Evenly distribute a layer of sliced strawberries atop the whipped cream. Make sure to spread them out so that each mouthful includes a taste of the juicy fruit.
  5. Repeat the Layers: Continue building the pie by repeating the layers of graham crackers, whipped cream, and strawberries two more times. You will be creating a beautiful, multi-layered dessert.
  6. Final Layer of Strawberries: Complete your creation by topping the pie with any remaining strawberries, ensuring they cover the entire surface.
  7. Chill the Pie: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator to chill for about three hours. This crucial step allows the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld, resulting in a truly magical dessert.

Notes

Serve and Enjoy: When ready to serve, remove the pie from the fridge. Prepare for it to vanish quickly once it hits the table, as it is sure to be a hit!
