For a richer crust, use brown sugar instead of white sugar. Ensure your bowl and beaters are thoroughly chilled for the best whipped cream consistency. Fresh, ripe strawberries offer the best flavor, but frozen (thawed) strawberries can be used in a pinch. Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup to your personal taste preference. The bars are best eaten within 2-3 days for optimal texture and flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare your workspace: Place a large metal bowl and the beaters from your electric mixer in the freezer to chill. (5 minutes)
02
StepPreheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. (2 minutes)
03
StepCraft the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, granulated sugar, shortening, and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly blended. (3 minutes)
04
StepBake the base: Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form an even crust. Bake in the preheated oven until set, approximately 7 minutes. (12 minutes)
05
StepCool and chill: Allow the crust to cool for about 5 minutes at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for 10 minutes. After refrigeration, place the crust in the freezer until cool to the touch. (20 minutes)
06
StepWhip the cream: In the chilled bowl, using the chilled beaters and an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks begin to form. (5 minutes)
07
StepSweeten and stiffen: Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. (5 minutes)
08
StepLayer the love: Arrange a single layer of sliced strawberries evenly over the chilled crust. Top with a layer of whipped cream. Repeat with a second layer of strawberries and whipped cream, reserving some strawberries for the top. (10 minutes)
09
StepFinal flourish: Garnish the top with the remaining strawberries. Drizzle strawberry syrup evenly over the top. (3 minutes)
10
StepSet and serve: Refrigerate the pie bars until the layers are set, about 1 hour. Cut into 9 equal pieces before serving. (60 minutes)
