by

This Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake is a refreshing and creamy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Layers of graham crackers, sweetened cream cheese, and fresh strawberries come together in a chilled, no-bake masterpiece! 🛒

🛒 Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 🍓 2 lbs fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 🍪 2 sleeves graham crackers (about 18 full crackers)
  • 🧀 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 🍦 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 🥄 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 🥄 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Topping (Optional):

  • 🍓 Fresh strawberries for garnish
  • 🍫 Chocolate shavings or drizzle

🔥 Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.

2️⃣ Assemble the Layers

  1. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to anchor the first layer of graham crackers.
  2. Place a single layer of graham crackers over the cream.
  3. Spread 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture over the crackers and top with a layer of sliced strawberries.
  4. Repeat the layers two more times: graham crackers, cream cheese mixture, and strawberries. End with a final layer of cream cheese mixture on top.

3️⃣ Chill the Cake

  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the graham crackers to soften.

4️⃣ Garnish & Serve

  • Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings or drizzle, if desired. Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing treat! 🍴
