Ingredients

  • 3-1/2 cups freshly whipped cream divided (or can use 3-1/2 cups of your favorite whipped topping like Cool Whip)
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 12 graham crackers
  • 2-1/2 cups mixture of fresh blackberries blueberries, raspberries and hulled and sliced strawberries, divided leaving the prettiest slices for the top

Optional Toppings:

  • crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • chopped nuts
  • drizzle of chocolate
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. To make freshly whipped cream: With a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until it just holds soft peaks. Add 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and whip to combine until stiff peaks hold. Do not overmix. Set aside 1/2 cup whipped cream for topping.
  2. In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the 3 cups of whipped cream or Cool Whip.

  3. Assemble the cake: Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture in an 8 x 8 pan to coat the bottom.

  4. Place 3 graham crackers across the center of the pan and then break up 1 or 2 more crackers as needed to fill in the gaps. Spread half of the cream mixture on top. Place a single layer of mixed berries.

  5. Top with another layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to make them fit. Spread the remaining cream mixture over the top. Add another layer of berries.

  6. Top with the final layer of graham crackers. Spread the reserved 1/2 cup freshly whipped cream (or Cool Whip) over evenly.
  7. Place the last layer of the prettiest mix of berries reserved for the top. Sprinkle on graham cracker crumbs on top.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the graham crackers have softened completely. Serve chilled and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
