Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) for the graham cracker crust.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter and combine it with the graham cracker crumbs until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Allow the crust to cool completely in the pan.
  5. Pat the fresh strawberries dry and macerate with a little sugar for extra sweetness, if desired.
  6. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and salt until combined.
  7. Fold in the Cool Whip gently to keep the mixture light, then spread it over the cooled crust.
  8. Layer the chopped strawberries over the cream filling and chill the dessert for at least 6 hours.
  9. Serve chilled, perhaps with a side of fresh fruit salad or a drink.
