Who's ready for this 3-day weekend? (Me!) If you're looking for something to bring to a Memorial Day cookout, or just want to make something fresh and yummy for your family, then boy, do I have a dessert for you!
To me, strawberries scream SUMMER. They are my favorite fruit and I'm always looking for new strawberry recipes to make, especially during this warm season. This is a recipe that my mom has made several times over the years, and it is definitely one of my favorites. The filling is fluffy and light, the strawberries are sweet and juicy, and the graham crackers give it the perfect crunch and texture. Plus it is so so easy to make! (Note: it doesn't take long to make, but it does need to be refrigerated for 6-8 hours before serving, so plan on making it ahead of time!)
I hope you enjoy this perfect summer dessert! [Thanks, Mom, for letting me share!]
