Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 16 oz Cool Whip or whipped topping, divided

Instructions

  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly coated.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a crust. Chill in the fridge.
  4. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mix well.
  5. Fold in one tub (8 oz) of whipped topping until creamy and smooth.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust.
  7. Top with strawberry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
  8. Add the remaining whipped topping as the final layer and spread smoothly.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture.
  • Chill each layer before adding the next for clean slices.
  • A hot knife makes slicing easier and neater.
  • These bars taste even better the next day.
