Strawberries - the quintessential fruit that never fails to brighten up any dessert. If you're looking for a simple yet delightful treat that celebrates the sweetness of strawberries, then look no further than the irresistible Strawberry Yum Yum recipe. This easy-to-make dessert combines the goodness of strawberries with a luscious creaminess that will leave your taste buds craving for more.
Ingredients:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 stick of butter (melted)
2 packages of Dream Whip
1 package cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
1 can of Strawberry Pie Filling or 2 cups of strawberry reduction
Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust
Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter.
Press this mixture into the bottom of a glass dish, approximately 9x9 in size. This forms the deliciously crunchy base of your Strawberry Yum Yum.
2. Create the Dreamy Layer:
Prepare the Dream Whip as directed on the package. Once ready, set it aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually fold in the prepared Dream Whip mixture until well combined. Dollup and cover the graham cracker crust with some of the dream whip, creating a smooth layer of delectable goodness. Do not use all the dream whip because you will be layering the dream whip with the strawberries.
3. Layer on the Strawberries:
Carefully spoon the strawberries over the layer of Dream Whip mixture. Let your creativity guide you as you arrange these vibrant red berries to cover the creamy layer beneath. I use the canned strawberry pie filling. Do this layering twice, (dream whip, then strawberry filling, then dream whip then strawberry filling, topping it off with dream whip).
4. Final Touch:
Sprinkle the top generously with more graham cracker crumbs. This not only adds a delightful crunch but also ties together the layers of this scrumptious Strawberry Yum Yum.
5. Chill and Serve:
Place your creation in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours to allow all the flavors to meld together perfectly. Once chilled, slice and serve this delightful dessert to your eager guests or treat yourself to a refreshing and heavenly taste of summer.
The Strawberry Yum Yum recipe is a delightful marriage of textures and flavors. From the buttery graham cracker base to the creamy Dream Whip layers and the burst of freshness from the strawberries, each bite is a symphony of taste that will leave everyone asking for seconds. You can substitute the strawberries for cherries or blueberries, they all taste great! Whether it's for a family gathering, a picnic, or simply a sweet indulgence on a sunny day, this dessert is sure to become a favorite in your repertoire. Give it a try and watch as it becomes a star on your dessert table!
