Here’s a delicious and easy Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake recipe that’s perfect for a no-bake dessert:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) graham crackers
- 1/4 cup milk (for softening graham crackers)
Instructions:
1. Make the Whipped Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in half of the prepared whipped cream until well combined to make the cream cheese filling.
3. Assemble the Layers:
- Lightly dip the graham crackers in milk (to soften slightly) and layer them at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
- Layer half of the sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Add another layer of milk-soaked graham crackers, followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture and strawberries.
- Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
4. Top with Whipped Cream:
- Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top layer of graham crackers, creating a smooth and even finish.
5. Chill:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set and the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve:
- Garnish with extra strawberry slices or graham cracker crumbs if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing and creamy dessert!
