Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (or 1 container whipped topping)
- 1 box graham crackers (about 18 full sheets)
- Optional: extra strawberries and crushed graham crackers for topping
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (or skip this step if using pre-made whipped topping). Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom.
- Add a single layer of graham crackers on top of the cream, breaking them as needed to fit.
