Preparation Steps

• For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• For the cream cheese filling: In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until just combined.
• For the strawberry layer: In a separate bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
• Assemble the lasagna: Spread half of the cream cheese filling evenly over the graham cracker crust. Layer half of the sugared strawberries (with their juices) over the cream cheese layer. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese filling and strawberries.
• Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
• Serve: Garnish with additional fresh strawberries before slicing and serving.
