Handmade Farmhouse
Print Recipe
Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream Whipped until stiff peaks
  • 1 pound Fresh strawberries Washed, dried well and sliced thin
  • 16oz Marshmallows I use one bag of the large marshmallows
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk Whole is best but 2% can work
  • 2/3 Cups Graham cracker crumbs Divided. Reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish.

Instructions
 

  • In a medium sauce pan, heat 1 cup of milk. Turn heat to low and add 16 ounces of marshmallows. Stir occasionally until melted. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl to cool.
    Wash and dry (well) strawberries. Slice into thin pieces.
    Whip 1 cup of heavy cream until you have stiff peaks and set aside.
    Sprinkle dry graham cracker crumbs (all but 2 tablespoons) into the bottom of a 9X13 pan.
    When marshmallow mixture has cooled, fold in the whipped cream. Use a spatula to fold until everything is well incorporated.
    Add one layer of sliced strawberries on the graham cracker crumbs. Pour a half of the marshmallow cream on top. Use a spoon to even the mixture if needed. Add a second layer of strawberries. Pour remainder of marshmallow cream on top. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of crumbs for topping. Chill to set for at least 2 hours. Enjoy cold!

Notes

This recipe is best served after 2 hours of chilling time. It is best to serve the day it is made, as the strawberries get juicy as they sit and the filling can become too runny.
