Featured in: Sweet Treats for Every Occasion
This classic strawberry cream cheese icebox treat features layers of fresh strawberries, whipped cream cheese filling, and graham crackers. The no-bake method makes it perfect for summer or any occasion when you want a refreshing, creamy dessert. Chilling in the fridge transforms simple ingredients into a cake-like delight as the graham crackers soften and absorb flavors. Served cold and topped with extra strawberries or crushed graham crackers, every bite is bursting with sweet berry flavor and velvety texture.
There is nothing as nostalgic and refreshing on a summer day as a slice of strawberry cream cheese icebox cake. It is the kind of dessert that feels both celebratory and approachable, requiring no baking and just a little time in the fridge to transform its simple ingredients into a showstopper. When strawberry season hits, I find myself making this for every potluck or family gathering—watching the layers meld together is half the magic.

Ingredients
1. Fresh strawberries: Choosing berries that are bright red and fragrant ensures maximum flavor
2. Granulated sugar: Helps the strawberries release their juices for a syrupy layer
3. Cream cheese: Use blocks rather than spreadable tubs for firm creamy texture
4. Powdered sugar: Provides smooth sweetness that blends easily into the filling
5. Vanilla extract: Adds a warming vanilla note that enhances the creamy layers
6. Heavy whipping cream: Whip until fluffy for stability and a cloud-like mouthfeel or substitute with whipped topping if in a pinch
7. Graham crackers: Look for crisp sheets that snap easily as the base and layers of the cake
8. Optional toppings: Extra strawberries add brightness and color while crushed graham crackers bring a little crunch
