Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form an even crust layer.
Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream is light and fluffy.
Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully to maintain the airy texture.
Assemble the cake: Spread the combined cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Add strawberries: Layer the chopped fresh strawberries evenly over the cream mixture.
Add sprinkles: Sprinkle rainbow-colored sprinkles on top for a festive and colorful finish; this step is optional.
Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the cake to firm up and the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve: Cut into 12 slices and serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped topping if desired.

Notes

This no-bake dessert is best served cold and kept refrigerated until just before serving.
For a fluffier texture, ensure heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks before folding.
Optional whipped topping adds extra creaminess and decoration but can be omitted to reduce sugar and fat content.
Fresh, ripe strawberries provide the best flavor, but you can substitute with other fruits if preferred.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
