🍓✨ Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake: No-Bake, Creamy, and Refreshing

 


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the cream cheese filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.

Step 2: Whip the cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.

Step 3: Assemble the cake

  1. In a rectangular dish, place a single layer of graham crackers.

  2. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture over the crackers.

  3. Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top.

  4. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream and strawberries.

Step 4: Chill the cake
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4–6 hours or overnight. This allows the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld together.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Optional: garnish with extra strawberry slices or a drizzle of melted chocolate.

Step 4: Tips & Variations

✅ Use any berry (blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries) if strawberries aren’t in season.
✅ For a citrus twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
✅ Make it extra crunchy by adding chopped nuts between layers.
