This no-bake cheesecake is actually an ice box cake. The "ice box" is your refrigerator and it works magic making this delicious dessert. Just put down a layer of graham crackers in a pan, cover it with whipped cream, then lay down a layer of strawberries
2 - 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. extra fine granulated sugar
2 c. heavy whipping cream
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
1 box graham crackers
2 lb. fresh strawberries, diced
1/4 c. sugar, optional
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and fine granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Pour into a another bowl; set aside.
Using the whisk attachment of a mixer, whip heavy cream until there are soft peaks. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; whip until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
Place a single layer of graham crackers into the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Spread 1/2 of the whipped cream mixture over the graham crackers; add 1/2 of the strawberries. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, then the remaining cream and strawberries.
Place in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours before serving.
Serve.
15 servings.
*If the strawberries are not very juicy, mix them with 1/4 c. sugar; let stand for 20 minutes before using.
