Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Layer

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Cream Cheese Mixture

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups whipped topping
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Base Layer

1 package (9 oz) ladyfinger cookies or graham crackers
1 cup milk

Instructions

Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, combining carefully to retain a light and airy texture.
Layer Ladyfingers: In a glass dish, arrange a layer of ladyfinger cookies or graham crackers evenly on the bottom, and drizzle them with milk to soften the cookies, allowing them to absorb moisture for better texture.
Add Cream Cheese Mixture: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the soaked ladyfingers, smoothing it to cover completely.
Layer Strawberries: Add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer, distributing them evenly to ensure each serving gets fruit.
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process—ladyfingers drizzled with milk, cream cheese mixture, and strawberries—until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of cream cheese mixture.
Chill: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together properly.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the top with additional sliced strawberries for a fresh and appealing presentation.

Notes

Ladyfinger cookies can be substituted with graham crackers for a slightly different texture and taste.
Use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for the creamiest results.
Chilling time is important to achieve proper layering texture and flavor melding.
For a slightly boozy flavor, add a splash of strawberry liqueur to the milk before drizzling over the ladyfingers.
This dessert is best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
