Strawberry Icebox Cake

Ingredients:

• 900g (32 oz) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 360ml (1 1/2 cups) heavy cream, chilled
• 115g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
• 10ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract
• 450g (4 cups) graham crackers, about 30 whole crackers
• 170g (6 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 60ml (1/4 cup) milk

Cooking Time:

Total estimated time: 4 hours 30 minutes (including 4 hours of chilling time)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend until smooth. Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 2: Assemble the Layers

Begin by spreading a thin layer of the cream mixture at the bottom of your baking dish. Next, arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the cream. Trim the crackers if necessary to fit. Spread a third of the remaining cream mixture over the crackers, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat this process twice more, ending with a layer of cream topped with strawberries.

Step 3: Chill the Cake

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and the graham crackers to soften for that perfect icebox cake texture.

Step 4: Serve

Once the cake is well-chilled and the graham crackers have softened, slice and serve chilled. You can optionally garnish with a few whole strawberries or mint leaves for an added touch of elegance.
