  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 to 16 servings

Ingredients

– 19 oz graham crackers

– 8 oz softened cream cheese

– 6.8 oz vanilla instant pudding mix

– 2 to 2 ½ cups cold milk

– 12 oz whipped topping

– 3 cups fresh sliced strawberries

– 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries

– 2 oz white chocolate chips for melting and drizzling

– half a cup reserved whipped topping

Instructions

First Step: Prepare and Organize Ingredients
Start by washing and slicing the fresh strawberries. Measure out the graham crackers, softened cream cheese, pudding mixes, cold milk, whipped topping, and blueberries. Reserve about half a cup of whipped topping separately. Have a 9×13-inch baking dish lined and ready.

Second Step: Make the Pudding Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese along with the vanilla instant pudding mixes until smooth. Gradually add in 2 to 2 ½ cups of cold milk, mixing continuously until the pudding sets to a creamy consistency. This forms the base of your luscious filling.

Third Step: Fold in Whipped Topping
Gently fold 1 ½ cups of whipped topping into the pudding mixture. This lightens the texture and helps bind the layers. Reserve the remaining half cup of whipped topping to spread on the pan’s bottom.

Fourth Step: Layer the Icebox Cake
Spread a thin layer of the reserved whipped topping on the bottom of the baking dish to help hold the graham crackers in place. Arrange five whole graham crackers side by side on the base, breaking two more as needed to fill edges.

Fifth Step: Add Cream and Berries
Spread a generous layer of the pudding mixture over the crackers, followed by evenly distributing a mix of blueberries and sliced strawberries. This layering will build flavor contrasts and visual appeal.

Sixth Step: Repeat Layers
Repeat your layers twice more: graham crackers, pudding mixture, and berry fruit. Finish off with a berry layer on top for an inviting, colorful presentation.

Final Step: Chill and Garnish
Melt the white chocolate chips in short intervals, stirring until silky smooth. Just before serving, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top layer. Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the crackers to soften into a cake-like texture and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
