Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (720ml) cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup (40g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 2021 full-sheet graham crackers
  • 2 cups (380g) sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup (140g) fresh blueberries
  • Optional for garnish: additional berries and star sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the whipped cream. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cold heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract together. Mix on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, which should take about 4 minutes.
  2. Next, spread a couple of tablespoons of the whipped cream into a very thin layer at the bottom of an ungreased 9×13-inch pan.
  3. Now it’s time to layer the graham crackers. Place about 7 graham crackers on top of the whipped cream, breaking them apart as necessary to create an even layer.
  4. Spread approximately 2 cups of the whipped cream over the layer of graham crackers. Then, layer the sliced strawberries on top.
  5. Repeat the process with another layer of graham crackers, followed by another 2 cups of whipped cream, and then the blueberries.
  6. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers and top with the remaining whipped cream.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 48 hours, to set.
  8. When ready to serve, garnish with additional berries and star sprinkles if desired. Cut into slices and serve cold.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for extra fluffy whipped cream. Best consumed within a couple of days for optimal freshness.
