A light and refreshing no-bake icebox cake layered with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, blueberries, and cookies. Perfect for hot summer days and effortless entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and drained
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 2 sleeves (200–250 g) graham crackers or vanilla wafers
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups of strawberries and 1 cup of blueberries. Hull and slice the strawberries into even pieces about ¼ inch thick. Pat dry gently to avoid watery cream. Set aside.
  2. Pour 2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled mixing bowl. Add 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. If using, beat 4 oz softened cream cheese in a separate bowl until smooth. Gently fold it into the whipped cream with a spatula, maintaining the airy texture.
  4. In a 9×13 inch glass baking dish, start with a single layer of graham crackers or vanilla wafers. Break cookies as needed to cover the bottom without big gaps.
  5. Spread about one-third of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the cookies using the spatula.
  6. Sprinkle a generous handful of strawberries and blueberries over the cream.
  7. Repeat layering twice more: cookies, cream, berries, ending with a final layer of cream and berries on top.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  9. Slice into squares or scoops and serve chilled.

Notes

Whip the cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Folding in cream cheese is optional for extra richness. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Drizzle milk or berry juice on cookies before layering if they seem dry. Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean slices.
