Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup sugar

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup strawberry jelly (optional, for glaze)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir in 1/4 cup of sugar until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 inch square dish or a similar container to form an even layer.

    Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.

      Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

        Layer the Delight: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust. Then, arrange the halved strawberries on top of the filling, pressing them down gently to fit.

          Optional Glaze: If you’d like, warm the strawberry jelly in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until it becomes pourable. Drizzle this over the strawberries, using a spoon to spread it evenly if needed.

            Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results) to let the layers set properly.

              Serve: Once chilled, cut into squares, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and serve. Enjoy your delightful treat!
