Ingredients
- 1 package graham crackers (about 10–12 crackers)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
-
On the bottom of a rectangular or square baking dish, lay down a layer of graham crackers, slightly overlapping each cracker.
-
Spread a layer of the creamy mixture over the crackers, smoothing it evenly with a spatula.
-
Sprinkle a layer of fresh mixed berries on top of the creamy filling.
-
Repeat the layers (graham crackers, creamy mixture, and berries) until all ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of berries on top.
-
Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh berries or a drizzle of honey if desired.
