Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream vegan as needed
- 2 cups Greek yogurt plain, non-fat
- 10 Graham crackers we love Simple Mills
- ¾ cup powdered sugar see notes for using honey or agave
Instructions
- Whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly fold in the ¾ cup powdered sugar and 2 cups Greek yogurt, being careful not to beat the air out of the whipped cream. Chill in the fridge while you thinly slice up or dice the 1 lb fresh strawberries. I like to slice a few at least for a pretty topping.
- Spread a thin layer (about ¼ cup) of whipped cream mixture into a 9x9 square pan. Cover completely with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking pieces as needed.
- Top with strawberries in a single layer. Then Top with 1 cup of whipping cream or just so there’s an even layer. Add another layer of graham crackers.
- Layer sliced strawberries on top, then evenly spread 1 cup of whipped cream mixture over the strawberries.
- Add another layer of graham crackers, followed by another cup of whipped cream mixture, topped with another layer of strawberries.
- Gently spread an additional ½ cup of whipped cream mixture on top, followed by a final layer of graham crackers and the remaining whipped cream. Then, decoratively arrange any remaining strawberries on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes
Storage: This cake is best kept in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. After that, it starts to get too soft. I don't recommend freezing it.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Fresh strawberries are highly recommended for the best texture and flavor. If you must use frozen, thaw them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will make the cake watery. Using honey or agave: Honey or agave can work, but may alter the texture slightly and won't help the mixture thicken up the same as powdered sugar.
