Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz whipped topping, thawed
3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
2. Fold in the whipped topping gently until the mixture is light and fully combined.
3. Add the sliced strawberries and mini marshmallows, then fold carefully so the fruit stays intact.
4. Fold in half of the crushed graham crackers to add a light crackle throughout the salad.
5. Cover and chill the salad for at least 1 hour to let the texture set and the flavors blend.
6. Top with the remaining crushed graham crackers just before serving for the best crunchy finish.
Notes
Use dry strawberries so the salad stays thick and creamy.
Add the final graham cracker topping right before serving to keep it crisp.
Chill the salad well before serving for the best flavor and texture.
