Tips:
- Make sure the heavy cream is cold before beating it. This will help it to form stiff peaks more easily.
- For a more decadent dessert, drizzle chocolate sauce over the top of the strawberries.
- You can also use other types of fresh fruit, such as blueberries or raspberries, instead of strawberries.
- If you don't have a food processor to make the graham cracker crumbs, you can crush them in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
