BEST Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 package (9 oz) graham crackers
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream mixture: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and beat until it forms soft peaks.
  2. Layer the cake: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a layer of graham crackers on the bottom. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the crackers.
  3. Add strawberries: Spread a layer of sliced strawberries over the cream mixture. If you’re using strawberry jam, you can spread a thin layer on top of the strawberries for extra flavor.
  4. Repeat the layers: Add another layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture. Top with the remaining strawberries.
  5. Chill: Cover the cake with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, so the flavors meld together and the cake sets.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, slice and serve! Enjoy the creamy, strawberry goodness.
