Preparation Steps

• Beat cream cheese with hand mixer until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Slowly mix in heavy whipping cream and beat until mixture is fluffy but stands up on its own.
• Hull and slice about 1.5 pounds of the strawberries.
• In a 9x9-inch pan, place a layer of Nilla Wafers, then a layer of strawberries and a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture (1/3 of the mixture). Repeat the layers until you're out of all three.
• Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
• Before serving: top with about 4 ounces (half a normal size container) of whipped topping or make some fresh whipped cream (1/2 cup heavy whipping cream + 1 tablespoon powdered sugar until stiff peaks form). Slice remaining strawberries and place on top.
• Will keep in refrigerator up to 2 days. Store covered.
