For the Cheesecake Filling:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 8-ounce containers frozen whipped topping, thawed
For the Strawberries:
1 16-ounce container fresh strawberries, divided
Optional: 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice if strawberries are not sweet enough
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter.
Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch glass or porcelain dish.
Chill the crust in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to firm it up.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 container of the whipped topping until well combined and smooth.
Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Add the Strawberries:
Set aside 5-6 whole strawberries for decoration.
Wash, hull, and slice the remaining strawberries. Layer these sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese filling.
Top with Whipped Topping:
Spread the remaining container of whipped topping over the strawberries, smoothing it out to cover evenly.
Chill:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, but its best if left overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve:
Before serving, top with the reserved whole and sliced strawberries.
Optionally, sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs on top for garnish you may not need to use all the crumbs.
Tip:
If your strawberries arent sweet enough, combine the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well and let sit to draw out juices, then drain before layering on the cheesecake mixture.
Enjoy!
