Ingredients
– 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
– 1 cup finely chopped strawberries
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup whipped topping
– 1 cup strawberry crunch crumbs (you can make these or buy them)
– 2 tbsp butter, melted
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Hand mixer or whisk
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper
– A teaspoon and tablespoon for measuring
– An 8-inch square baking dish
Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin with, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, I combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Once I have the right texture, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom of my baking dish to create a base. This part is essential, as it gives my bites that lovely crumbly bottom!
