Description

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups freshly whipped cream, divided (or can use 3 1/2 cups of your favorite whipped topping like Cool Whip)
• one 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 12 graham crackers
• 2 1/2 cups mixture of fresh blackberries,blueberries, raspberries and hulled and sliced strawberries, divided leaving the prettiest slices for the top
• Optional Toppings
• crushed graham cracker crumbs
• chopped nuts
• drizzle of chocolate
• powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

• To make freshly whipped cream: With a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until it just holds soft peaks. Add 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and whip to combine until stiff peaks hold. Do not overmix. Set aside 1/2 cup whipped cream for topping.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the 3 cups of whipped cream or Cool Whip.
• Assemble the cake: Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture in a 8 x 8 pan to coat the bottom.
• Place 3 graham crackers across the center of pan and then break up 1 or 2 more crackers as needed to fill in the gaps. Spread half of the cream mixture on top. Place a single layer of mixed berries.
• Top with another layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to make them fit. Spread the remaining cream mixture over top. Add another layer of berries.
• Top with the final layer of graham crackers. Spread the reserved 1/2 cup freshly whipped cream (or Cool Whip) over evenly.
• Place the last layer of the prettiest mix of berries reserved for the top. Sprinkle on graham cracker crumbs on top.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the graham crackers have softened completely. Serve chilled and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
