No-Bake Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake
This icebox cake features layers of graham crackers, a rich cream cheese filling, and fresh strawberries. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare and needs to chill for at least 4 hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 package (14 oz) graham crackers
- Additional strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Layer the Cake: In a 9×13 inch dish, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom. Place a layer of graham crackers over the cream, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
- Serve: Once chilled, slice the cake and garnish with additional strawberries if desired. Serve cold.
