Description

A refreshing no-bake dessert made with layers of creamy sweetened cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and soft cookies or graham crackers. After chilling, the layers become soft and cake-like, making it perfect for warm days and easy to prepare ahead.

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Extra strawberries for topping

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

  • 1½ cups heavy cream

Base

  • 1 package graham crackers or tea biscuits

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, ensuring the cream is airy and fluffy.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy filling without deflating the cream.
  4. Layer Base: In a baking dish, lay down a single layer of graham crackers or tea biscuits, covering the bottom evenly.
  5. Add Cream Layer: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly over the cracker layer.
  6. Add Strawberries: Distribute a layer of sliced fresh strawberries over the cream layer for freshness and sweetness.
  7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering graham crackers, cream mixture, and strawberries until all ingredients are used, making sure to finish with a cream layer on top.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled icebox cake for at least 4 to 6 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the crackers to soften and flavors to meld.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the top with additional fresh strawberries for an attractive presentation.

Notes

  • Overnight chilling produces the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute strawberries with blueberries or raspberries for variety.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
