Begin by rinsing 1 pound of fresh strawberries under cool water. Once clean, remove the stems and slice them into thin pieces, placing them in a medium bowl.

Sprinkle 1 cup of sugar evenly over the sliced strawberries. Gently stir to coat all the pieces, then allow them to macerate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Pour 2 cups of cold heavy cream into a mixing bowl, and beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.

Once the strawberries have macerated, gently fold them into the whipped cream using a spatula.

In individual serving dishes, start by adding a layer of crushed graham crackers. Spoon a portion of the strawberry and whipped cream mixture over the crackers.

Continue to layer the crushed graham crackers and the creamy strawberry mixture until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of strawberries on top.

Cover the assembled Strawberry Heaven with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
