• Optional toppings: extra strawberries, diced mango or pineapple, maraschino cherries, mint leaves

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:
   In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a square 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the layers.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer:
   In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust using a spatula.

3. Add the Fruit Layer:
   Evenly spoon the drained crushed pineapple over the cream cheese layer. Then gently spread the sliced strawberries over the pineapple, arranging them for a layered, juicy presentation.

4. Top with Whipped Cream:
   Spread the whipped cream across the top of the strawberries, smoothing it out to cover the surface. For an extra special finish, add more strawberries or tropical fruits like diced mango or pineapple.

5. Chill the Cake:
   Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight chilling is even better for clean slices and full flavor fusion.

6. Serve and Garnish:
   When ready to serve, slice into squares and garnish each piece with more fresh fruit or a cherry on top. A sprig of mint adds a bright, elegant touch.
