Strawberry Icebox Dessert is the ultimate no-bake Spring dessert. Fabulously creamy, it is a no-fail dessert and perfect for using plump, juicy, in-season strawberries.
Graham crackers, a cream cheese/whipped cream mixture and sliced strawberries are layered in a baking dish. This recipe is so, so easy. It’s a great recipe for kids to help with.
Once the graham crackers get soft, this dessert has the texture of a light and tender cake. So delicious!
Summer Dessert
Icebox cakes are ideal for summer entertaining. Their cool, creamy texture is perfect on a hot summer day. So refreshing. I also love that I don’t have to turn the oven on to make one.
Make-Ahead Dessert
This icebox dessert is one of my favorite make-ahead desserts for potlucks and get-togethers. It should be made at least 2 hours in advance. 8 hours in advance is even better. The graham crackers get soft over time giving it a wonderous texture.
Minimal Ingredients
No crazy ingredients needed to make this recipe. Just basic ingredients that you are likely to have on hand.
- Cream Cheese– let it soften so that it mixes in well.
- Powdered Sugar
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Vanilla Extract
- Almond Extract– go easy on the almond extract. A little goes a long way.
- Cinnamon Graham Crackers– you can use regular or chocolate but I like the flavor that cinnamon adds.
- Fresh Strawberries– the real star of this dessert.
Recipe Tip
You will need a hand-held electric mixer for this recipe. Be sure to beat the whipping cream mixture until it is thick, but do not overbeat it.
Storage
If wrapped well, will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
