For an extra touch of elegance, consider macerating the strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar for 30 minutes before assembling the cake. This will draw out their natural juices and enhance their sweetness. Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as almond or coconut, to customize the flavor profile of the cream cheese mixture. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought whipped cream instead of whipped topping, but be sure to stabilize it with a bit of gelatin to prevent it from becoming watery. For a visually stunning presentation, reserve some of the sliced strawberries to arrange on top of the cake just before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients.
02
StepIn a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth (approximately 2 minutes). Incorporate powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined (about 1 minute). Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated, creating a luscious cream.
03
StepSpread 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of graham crackers over the cream cheese, breaking them as needed to fit snugly.
04
StepTop the graham crackers with 3 cups of the cream cheese mixture, spreading it into a smooth, even layer. Arrange 2 1/2 cups of sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer, covering as much surface area as possible.
05
StepRepeat the layers once more: graham crackers, cream cheese mixture, and strawberries. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers, cream cheese mixture, and the remaining strawberries.
06
StepCover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to fully set and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
