Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups oatmeal cookie crumbs (about 10-12 cookies)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup additional powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
How to Make Strawberry Cream Layered Dessert
- Start by preparing the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with ¼ cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust in an even layer.
- Layer half of the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer, then add the remaining cream cheese mixture on top.
- Finish by layering the rest of the strawberries on top of the final cream cheese layer.
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in your filling.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade oatmeal cookies instead of store-bought.
- Allow the dessert to chill overnight for the best texture and flavor fusion.
- Use a serrated knife to slice through the layers cleanly.
Easy Variations
- Substitute strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry version.
- Add a layer of chocolate ganache between the cream and strawberry layers for a decadent twist.
- Incorporate a layer of lemon curd for a refreshing citrus kick.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast.
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish to elevate presentation.
- A drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
