Description

A delightful no-bake Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake featuring layers of creamy sweetened cream cheese mixture, fresh sliced strawberries, and crunchy graham crackers. This easy-to-make chilled dessert is perfect for warm days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping

Fruit

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Base

  • 24 graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped topping too much, to maintain a light and airy texture.
  3. Layer graham crackers: Arrange a single layer of graham crackers evenly in the bottom of your serving dish or pan to create the first layer of the cake.
  4. Spread cream mixture: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer, covering it completely.
  5. Add sliced strawberries: Place a layer of fresh sliced strawberries on top of the cream mixture, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  6. Repeat layers: Repeat the layering process—graham crackers, cream mixture, and strawberries—until you finish with a final layer of the cream mixture on top.
  7. Refrigerate: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the layered cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
  8. Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the icebox cake into pieces and serve chilled as a refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • For best flavor and texture, chill the cake overnight.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal taste and juiciness.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
