Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces cream cheese -softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 sheets graham crackers (1 ounce/30 g) - or use vanilla or chocolate wafers
  • ½ cup sliced strawberries
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Set aside.
  • Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (You can also use a whisk, though it takes more effort.)
  • Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended.
  • Assemble the Cake: In a small dessert dish (a 10-ounce ramekin works well), add a layer of graham crackers, breaking them to fit as needed.
  • Add Layers:
    Spread half of the cream mixture over the crackers.
    Top with half of the sliced strawberries.
    Add another layer of graham crackers.
    Spread the remaining cream on top, then finish with the rest of the strawberries.
  • Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until the layers set and the graham crackers soften.

Notes

  • Chill Before Serving: For the best texture, refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours. This gives the graham crackers time to soften and absorb the cream.
  • Use the Right Dish: A 10-ounce ramekin works perfectly, but any similarly sized dessert dish or small bowl with sides will do.
  • Add Toppings: For extra flavor, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel over the top before serving.
