- Mix the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and powdered sugar together in a medium bowl until crumbly.
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled brownies, if using.
- Sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over the cream cheese layer or directly onto the brownies.
- Cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy!
