Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream cold
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar see Note 1 for substitution
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 14.4 ounce box graham crackers see Note 2
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries stemmed and sliced
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions

  • In a bowl add the heavy cream and vanilla. Beat with a hand whisk until slightly foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sugar or honey and beat until stiff peaks form--about 4 to 5 minutes.
    spreading whipped cream in a baking dish
  • Add 1/3 of the cream to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle over 1/3 of the berries.

  • Top with another layer of graham crackers.
  • Spread the last of the whipped cream and top with remaining berries. Cover and chill at least 4 hours but up to 24 to soften the graham crackers.

Notes

Note 1: For a refined sugar free option, use a light colored honey. Monkfruit could also be used in small amounts though I haven't tested it. 
Note 2: Choose a graham cracker free from high fructose corn syrup. I prefer Simple Mills Almond Flour Sweet Thins in Honey Cinnamon for a gluten free option or Annie's Brand Organic.
