Preparation Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a compact crust. Chill 15–20 minutes to set.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fluffy. Fold in whipped topping until light and smooth.
Step 3: Layer the Cheesecake
Spread half of the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Arrange sliced strawberries and spoon half of the strawberry pie filling over the cream layer.
Step 4: Repeat Layers
Spread remaining cheesecake mixture over the strawberry layer. Top with remaining strawberry pie filling and fresh strawberry slices.
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set and firm for slicing.
Step 6: Decorate
Before serving, pipe or spread whipped topping on top and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
