In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Gently fold in the sliced strawberries and mini marshmallows, if using.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow flavors to blend.
Just before serving, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers if desired, or serve as a topping on the side.
