Ingredients
300 g strawberries (fresh or frozen, finely diced)
1 tbsp water
325 g graham crackers
230 g unsalted butter, melted
300 g whipping cream (cold)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
150 g sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Strawberry Compote
Add diced strawberries and water to a saucepan.
Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer until thick and jam-like.
Let cool completely.
Graham Crust
Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs.
Mix crumbs with melted butter until fully coated.
Press half the mixture into a lined 9×9-inch pan.
Freeze while preparing filling.
Ice Cream Layer
Whip cold cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Fold in condensed milk until smooth.
Mix in cooled strawberry compote.
Pour mixture over crust and smooth evenly.
Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
Final Layer
Add remaining graham cracker mixture on top.
Press down firmly to form top crust.
Freeze overnight (at least 12 hours) until fully set.
Slice & Serve
Lift out using parchment paper.
Cut into 8 bars with a sharp knife.
Serve frozen.
Notes
Fully chill strawberry compote to avoid melting the cream.
Press crust firmly so bars hold shape.
Freeze overnight for clean slicing.
Let sit 2–3 minutes before cutting if too hard.
Can be wrapped individually for easy storage.
