Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake Recipe

### 👩‍🍳 **Instructions**

1. **Make the cream filling**
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.

2. **Assemble the layers**
Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Add a single layer of graham crackers on top. Spread about ⅓ of the cream mixture over the crackers. Layer sliced strawberries on top. Repeat the process: crackers, cream, strawberries — finishing with a layer of cream on top.

3. **Chill**
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least **4 hours**, but preferably **overnight**. This allows the graham crackers to soften into a cake-like texture.

4. **Serve and enjoy**
Just before serving, garnish with extra strawberries or a few sprigs of mint for a fresh, elegant finish.
