For the Crust:
2 cups crushed graham crackers
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
A pinch of salt
For the Strawberry Filling:
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
For the Creamy Layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Whipped Topping:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
Fresh mint leaves
Sliced strawberries
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to create a firm, even crust.
Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the strawberry filling.
Step 2: Make the Strawberry Filling
In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the strawberry mixture, stirring continuously until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once cooled, spread the strawberry filling evenly over the chilled crust.
