🍓 Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake

Step 4: Repeat the Layers

Continue layering: graham crackers, cream cheese filling, and strawberries, until you reach the top of the dish. Aim for 3–4 layers depending on the dish size. The final layer should be cream cheese filling, which makes a beautiful smooth surface for decoration.

Step 5: Chill the Cake

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The refrigeration allows the graham crackers to soften and absorb the cream, turning the layers into a tender, cake-like texture without baking.

Step 6: Decorate

Before serving, garnish the top with additional sliced strawberries, a few dollops of whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh mint leaves. This adds a fresh, colorful touch that makes the cake irresistible.

🍰 Serving Suggestions

• Serve chilled in square slices for a pretty presentation.
• Pair with a cold glass of milk, iced tea, or a sparkling beverage.
• For extra indulgence, drizzle with strawberry sauce or a little melted white chocolate.

🌟 Tips for the Perfect Icebox Cake

1. Cookie choice matters: Graham crackers or tea biscuits work best. Avoid overly thick cookies that may stay hard.
2. Balance sweetness: Taste your strawberries and adjust sugar in the cream cheese filling accordingly.
3. Layer neatly: Even layers not only look beautiful but also ensure every bite has a perfect balance of strawberries, cream, and cookie.
4. Make ahead: This cake gets better after sitting overnight, so it’s perfect for preparing a day ahead.
