Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (or your favorite cookie base)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (16 oz) container whipped topping (or whipped cream)
- 1 ½ cups fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas)

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan or dessert dish to form a firm crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. - Make the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the whipped topping to lighten the mixture. Spread this over the chilled crust evenly. - Add the Toppings:
Layer the fresh fruit on top of the cream cheese mixture. For a touch of decadence, drizzle chocolate syrup over the fruit. - Finish with Whipped Topping:
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the fruit layer, smoothing it out with a spatula. - Chill and Serve:
Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Slice into squares or scoop out servings and enjoy your foolproof weekend treat!
