Easy, light and refreshing, this dish aims to please! It's a perfect dessert for a summer BBQ or cookout. Just make sure to give the cake plenty of time to chill before serving. You can even make this the night before to save yourself some time on the day of your get-together!
{ Prep Time: 20 mins / Difficulty: Relatively Easy / Chill Time: 4 hours / Yields: 8 servings }
2 pounds fresh strawberries
3 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 sleeves graham crackers (about 24-28 whole crackers)
2 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
Directions:
1. Set aside 8 of the best-looking strawberries for garnish (see photo above). Wash & hull the remainder of the strawberries, then dry on a paper towel. Cut each berry into thin slices.
2. With a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip 3 cups of cream until it just holds stiff peaks. This will take about 4-6 minutes. Add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla; and whip to combine.
4. To make the ganache, heat 1/4 cup whipping cream until bubbles form around the edges, then pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it stand for a few minutes, then whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy. Drizzle this over the layered dessert with a spoon, or transfer to a squeeze bottle and use that to drizzle.
Note: Refrigerate for at least four hours, or until the crackers have softened completely. Garnish with additional berries, if desired.
