Ingredients

For the Cake Layers:

  • 1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers (about 3 sleeves)

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (or 1 container of whipped topping)

For the Topping (Optional):

  • ½ cup crushed graham crackers
  • ¼ cup white chocolate shavings
  • Extra sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

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

2. Assemble the Icebox Cake

  1. Layer 1: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese filling at the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
  2. Layer 2: Arrange a single layer of graham crackers on top, breaking them as needed to fit.
  3. Layer 3: Spread a layer of cream cheese filling evenly over the graham crackers.
  4. Layer 4: Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the cream mixture.
  5. Repeat the layers (graham crackers, cream cheese, strawberries) until you reach the top of the dish.

3. Chill & Serve

  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to let the flavors meld and the graham crackers soften.
  2. Before serving, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers, white chocolate shavings, and extra strawberries for garnish.
  3. Slice and enjoy this refreshing, creamy delight!

Storage Tips

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days (if it lasts that long!).
