Ingredients:

1 stick melted butter
2 packets Dream Whip (prepared according to package instructions)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
2 cups strawberry pie filling
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with a bit of melted butter to help them bind. Spread a layer of crumbs evenly at the bottom of a trifle dish.
Prepare 2 envelopes of Dream Whip as instructed on the box.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold this mixture into the prepared Dream Whip, creating a light and fluffy cream layer.
Assemble the Trifle
Begin with a layer of the graham cracker crumbs at the bottom of your dish.
Spread a layer of the cream cheese filling over the crumbs.
Add a layer of strawberry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
Repeat these layers until your dish is full, ending with the cream layer on top.
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top layer for texture, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serving Instructions:
Use a large spoon or serving ladle to carefully scoop out individual portions, ensuring each serving includes layers of graham crackers, cream, and strawberries.
Serve in individual bowls or dessert cups for an elegant presentation.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store the trifle covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will help maintain the freshness of the cream and fruit layers.
Avoid Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as it may affect the texture of the cream and fruit filling.
Pro Tip: If you have leftovers, try to serve them within 1-2 days for the best taste and texture, as the graham crackers will gradually soften over time.
Serve this trifle at your next gathering or enjoy it as a sweet treat for yourself—either way, it's bound to be a crowd-pleaser!
