This is a no bake dessert, so it is a perfect for those who don´t like to heat the oven during summer. Rich, creamy, full strawberry taste layer with fresh strawberry pieces plus crunchy graham cracker layer, equal a perfect combination.

I like quick and easy recipes, so Easy Frozen Strawberry Dessert is often on our menu, during fresh strawberries season. It will be great for summer barbecues.

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.

Notes

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.

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.
