Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping (thawed)

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

1 ½ cups strawberry pie filling

Extra strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, stirring until well mixed. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to create the crust layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.

    Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

      Assemble the Layers: Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing it out evenly. Layer the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese mixture, followed by dollops of strawberry pie filling.

        Chill and Set: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the flavors to meld and layers to set.

          Serve: Once chilled and set, cut into squares and serve, garnished with extra fresh strawberries if desired. Enjoy this delightful no-bake cheesecake!
