Here's what you'll need for these sweet treats:
- Chopped strawberries - Juicy, sweet, and perfect for that fresh berry burst.

See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, stir together the chopped strawberries, blueberries, vanilla bean paste and thawed coconut whipped cream until fully combined.
- Step 2:Line your baking dish or glass storage container (I used an 11 x 7.5 Rubbermaid glass container!) with a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom.Spread the berry whipped mixture over the crackers.Top with another single layer of graham crackers, gently pressing down.
- Step 3: Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the freezer for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Step 4: Let thaw for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften the berries slightly. Cut into even squares and enjoy your delicious treat!
