Strawberry Icebox Cake

Strawberry icebox cake is a refreshing dessert that's perfect for warmer days. The combination of fresh strawberries and cream cheese gives it a light, tangy, and flavor. And I love the 'fluff' Cool Whip gives it. Plus, it's a no-bake dessert, which makes it super easy to prepare and a great make-ahead treat.

Ingredients

For the Crust

½ 13.1 ounce lemon Oreo Thins or vanilla, there's 52 in a pkg, I used 25

For the Filling

2 lbs strawberries washed and dried
16 ounces (452g) cream cheese at room temperature
¼ cup (48g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces Cool whip
2 tablespoons strawberry Jello mix

For the Topping

1 cup (236ml) heavy whipping cream
½ cup (65g) powdered sugar

Instructions

For the Crust

Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap.

For the Filling

Thoroughly wash and dry all the strawberries, and remove the stems. First, dice enough strawberries (about the size of a dime) to fill 1 cup. Set aside. Then slice all the remaining strawberries and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat until it’s smooth and free of lumps. Then mix in the prepared Cool Whip, and stir with a spatula until it’s well mixed.
Divide the cheesecake mixture in half. To one half, add the powdered strawberry jello mix and 1 cup of finely chopped berries, and stir until combined.

To Assemble:

Layer half of the sliced strawberries first in your loaf pan, overlap and fill any gaps.
Spread the plain cheesecake filling overtop of the strawberries, followed by the strawberry cheesecake filling. Layer cookies next.
Next, spread the remaining layer of the plain cheesecake and top with the remaining strawberries and final layer of cookies. Fold the plastic wrap over the filling and freeze until firm throughout. It usually takes from 4 to 6 hours.
When you're ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and turn out onto a serving tray. Remove the plastic wrap, slice, and serve.
Store any remaining in the freezer.
