Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs forms a buttery, crunchy crust
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
For the Cream Cheese Layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping divided (like Cool Whip)
For the Fruit Layers
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup strawberry pie filling
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds optional

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish
  • medium bowl
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or Spoon

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust.
  2. Step 2: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping to lighten the mixture.
  3. Step 3: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  4. Step 4: Arrange sliced fresh strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer. Spoon strawberry pie filling on top, spreading gently to avoid mashing the fruit.
  5. Step 5: Top with the remaining whipped topping, spreading to cover the entire dessert.
  6. Step 6: If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds over the whipped topping for extra crunch and elegance.
  7. Step 7: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let flavors meld and make slicing easier.
  8. Step 8: Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your refreshing strawberry lasagna!

Notes

Use crushed vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits for a different crust. Try blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries instead of strawberries. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with vegan alternatives. Toasted coconut flakes or chopped pecans make great nut alternatives. Garnish with fresh mint or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra flair. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 3 days; crust softens over time but remains tasty.
