2 pounds fresh strawberries
20 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3 cups heavy cream
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 box (14.4-ounce) box honey graham graham crackers (about 30 crackers)
Directions:
Rinse, hull and pat-dry your strawberries. Reserve whole berries for the top of your cake (about 16 small berries or 8 large berries) and thinly slice the remainder.
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, stir cream cheese on medium speed until smooth.
Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of the heavy cream. Stir until smooth, pausing once to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
With a mixer on medium-low speed, gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream.
Increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture begins to thicken (about one minute).
Pause to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla.
Stir again, gradually increasing speed to high. Beat until a thick, fluffy whipped cream texture is achieved.
