Ingredients
Scale
1 pound strawberries
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
12 whole graham crackers
2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
Cut the tops off the strawberries and cut each berry into thin slices.
With a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip to combine.
Spread a small spoonful of whipped cream on the bottom of a platter or 8×8 baking dish. Lay three graham crackers on top of the whipped cream. Lightly cover the top of the graham crackers with more whipped cream. Add a single layer of strawberries.
Repeat this three more times until you have four layers of graham crackers. Spread the last of the whipped cream over the top.
Heat the remaining 1/4 cup cream in a small saucepan until it starts to boil. Pour over the chopped chocolate into a small bowl. Let stand for a few minutes, then whisk until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the layered dessert with a spoon. Garnish with a few more sliced strawberries.
Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight. Slice and enjoy.
