Make this simple, no-bake strawberry cream cheese icebox cake. It uses layers of whipped cream cheese filling and graham crackers for a refreshing, make-ahead summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (or use 2 cups fresh whipped cream)
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 (14.4 ounce) package graham crackers (about 30 crackers)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the whipped cream.
  4. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream mixture until just combined. Do not overmix. This is your cream cheese filling.
  5. Slice the strawberries thinly.
  6. To assemble the icebox cake, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese filling on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the filling. Break crackers as needed to fit the dish.
  8. Spread about one-third of the remaining cream cheese filling over the crackers. Top this layer evenly with half of the sliced strawberries.
  9. Repeat the layers: graham crackers, one-third of the filling, and the remaining strawberries.
  10. Top with the final layer of graham crackers and spread the remaining cream cheese filling evenly over the top layer.
  11. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the crackers to soften.
  13. Before serving, slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use vanilla wafers instead of graham crackers.
  • If you prefer a firmer filling, chill the cream cheese mixture before folding it into the whipped topping.
  • This refrigerated dessert recipes tastes best after a full overnight chill.
