What is cool about this kind of desserts is that it can be prepared two weeks before and kept in the freezer. Sounds amazing… Crunchy layer is made with graham crackers, butter and sugar.
Rich creamy layer is made of cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, sugar, vanilla and strawberries. Top layer is made with the same ingredients as the bottom one, but with graham cracker crumbs.
What do you need to prepare Easy Frozen Strawberry Dessert?
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 22 full sheet graham crackers)
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can 14 Oz sweetened condensed milk
- 6 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 Oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 2 1/2 cups whole strawberries
How to prepare Easy Frozen Strawberry Dessert?
Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press half of the mixture on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Place the whole strawberries in a blender and puree for about 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
After that beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, at a low speed, until creamy, then add condensed milk, vanilla and pureed strawberries, until well combined. Add whipped cream and beat until combined. Fold in diced strawberries. Spread over the graham cracker layer. Finally sprinkle with the rest of the graham cracker crumbs.
Leave in the freezer for at least 5 hours and take it out of freezer about 20 – 30 minutes before serving.
It can stay in the freezer for 3 to 4 weeks.
NOTES:
You can use frozen strawberries instead of fresh. You can also use other kind of berries – raspberries, blueberries, blackberries..
Try cool whip instead of whipped cream, but you would use 2 cups cool whip in place of 1 cup whipped cream.
2 1/2 cups of the whole strawberries make about 1 1/4 cup puree.
Strawberries can be mashed with a fork, too. If you don’t have blender with you.
You can use golden Oreos instead of Graham crackers.

This tastes so good, that I’d like to just refrigerate it and serve as is. Would it thicken up enough, or be too runny? Great gluten-free desert using GF Graham crumbs, only I added more, so crumbs weren’t wet.
