Strawberry cream cheese icebox cake is an easy, no-bake dessert made with layers of graham crackers, creamy cheesecake filling, and fresh strawberries. This chilled strawberry dessert is perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, or holidays. With just 20 minutes of prep, it’s a make-ahead treat that’s light, refreshing, and irresistibly creamy.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages graham crackers
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 16 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Fold in whipped topping until mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. In a 9×13-inch dish, spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture on the bottom.
  4. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the cream.
  5. Spread another layer of cream cheese mixture, then top with sliced strawberries.
  6. Repeat layers—graham crackers, cream cheese mixture, strawberries—until ingredients are used, ending with cream and strawberries on top.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until graham crackers soften into a cake-like texture.

Notes

  • Add a thin layer of strawberry jam between graham crackers and cream for extra sweetness.
  • Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries.
  • Use chocolate graham crackers for a chocolate-strawberry twist.
  • Homemade whipped cream can replace whipped topping—whip 2 cups heavy cream with ¼ cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
