– 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions
Creating the No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.
2. Form the Base: Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create the crust layer.
3. Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Layer the Cheesecake: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
6. Add Strawberries: Evenly distribute half of the sliced strawberries over the cheesecake layer. If using, add a layer of strawberry pie filling on top of the strawberries.
7. Repeat Layers: Spread the remaining cheesecake mixture over the strawberries, smoothing it out with a spatula.
8. Final Strawberry Layer: Top with the remaining sliced strawberries, arranging them neatly for presentation.
9. Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
10. Serve: Once chilled and set, cut into squares and serve. Optionally, garnish with additional whipped topping or whole strawberries on each piece.
