Ingredients

• 1 cup granola

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup additional strawberries, for garnish

How to Make Strawberry Cream Layered Dessert

1. In a medium bowl, combine the granola and half of the sliced strawberries. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
4. In a glass or a trifle dish, start layering. Begin with a layer of the granola and strawberry mixture, followed by a layer of the cream cheese filling. Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of the cream cheese filling on top.
5. Garnish the top layer with the remaining sliced strawberries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
6. Serve chilled, and enjoy the refreshing layers of flavor!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
• Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
• Let the dessert chill for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar according to your taste.

Easy Variations

• Swap strawberries for other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry dessert.
• Add a layer of lemon curd for a zesty twist.
• Use flavored whipped cream for added depth, such as vanilla bean or almond.
• Substitute granola with crushed cookies or nuts for a different crunch.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce for chocolate lovers.
• A side of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
