Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Strawberries 2 lb.
Graham crackers 2 sleeves
Cream cheese 1 (8 oz) pkg.
Sweetened condensed milk 1 (14 oz) can
Instant cheesecake flavored pudding 2 (3.4 oz) pkg.
Milk 3 cups
Whipped topping 1 (12 oz) carton

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Strawberries and Dish: Wash the strawberries, cut off the tops, and slice them about 1/4 inch thick. Set the sliced strawberries aside. Line the bottom of a 3-quart (13×9 inch) baking dish with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to fit snugly. Set the dish aside.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese and the sweetened condensed milk. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Pudding and Milk: Add the instant cheesecake flavored pudding mixes and the milk to the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing on low speed for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping into the thickened cream cheese mixture until it is smooth and evenly incorporated.
  5. Layer the Cake: Pour half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers in the baking dish.
  6. Add Strawberry Layer: Arrange a single layer of the sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
  7. Add Graham Cracker Layer: Top the strawberry layer with another layer of graham crackers, again breaking them as needed to cover the surface.
  8. Add Remaining Cream Cheese Mixture: Pour the remaining half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer.
  9. Add Final Strawberry Layer: Arrange another layer of the remaining sliced strawberries evenly over the top of the cream cheese mixture.
  10. Chill the Cake: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld together.
  11. Serve and Garnish: When ready to serve, spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the top layer of strawberries. Crush any remaining graham crackers into crumbs and sprinkle them over the whipped topping as a garnish. Slice and enjoy this refreshing Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake!
