How to Make Strawberry Delight

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare graham cracker crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  4. Slice an angel food cake (one 10-ounce cake) horizontally into three even layers. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add ½ cup powdered sugar, beating until combined.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 cups strawberry pie filling. Gently fold in 1 cup whipped cream.
  7. Place one layer of angel food cake into the cooled crust. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the cake layer.
  8. Top with a second layer of angel food cake and spread remaining cream cheese mixture over it.
  9. Top with the final angel food cake layer.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  11. Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish as desired (e.g., fresh strawberries, whipped cream).
