Featuring layers of softened graham crackers, a luscious cream cheese and whipped cream filling, and bursts of juicy raspberries, this dessert is as easy to make as it is impressive to serve.

With just 20 minutes of prep time and no baking required, this chilled dessert is ideal for summer gatherings or when you need a make-ahead dish that will wow your guests. Let it set overnight for the best texture, and garnish with fresh raspberries for a stunning final touch that’s sure to steal the show.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the raspberry jam and lemon juice, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well-blended. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to fit.
Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer. Then sprinkle 1 cup of fresh raspberries over the cream layer.
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the raspberries, followed by another 1/3 of the cream mixture and another cup of raspberries. Repeat once more with a final layer of graham crackers, cream mixture, and raspberries.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set and the graham crackers to soften.
Before serving, garnish with additional raspberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
