- Evenly distribute half of the sliced strawberries atop the cream cheese layer.
- Drizzle strawberry glaze or preserves over the layer of strawberries.
- Repeat by adding another layer of graham crackers, pressing them down gently.
- Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the graham crackers.

Notes
For best results, ensure that cream cheese is fully softened. Allow the dessert to set in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, and use fresh strawberries for optimal flavor.
