Helpful Tips to make Summer Berry Icebox Cake:
- Make sure you wash and let the berries dry before putting them in your cake. The excess moisture can make the berry juice run and turn the creamy white layers pink.
- Make it your own creation and add optional topping if you like! Ideas include crushed graham cracker crumbs, chopped nuts, a drizzle of chocolate (white or milk) or powdered sugar for dusting.
- You can replace the cream cheese with prepared cheesecake or vanilla pudding if you wish. Just mix it in the with the 3 cups whipped cream as you would the cream cheese.
- Mix and match your berries. Any combination will work in this recipe!
What you will need to make Summer Berry Icebox Cake:
- 8x8 Pan - this one is perfect for baking chicken or making an icebox cake!
- Mixing Bowls - I like to have various sizes depending on the recipe.
- Hand Mixer - perfect for those little jobs when you don’t want to grab the big stand mixer.

No-Bake Summer Berry Icebox Cake
Summer Berry Icebox Cake is surely a crowd-pleaser. It is an easy summer dessert recipe that is so simple, but looks like you spent hours making it!
prep time: 20 MINScook time: total time: 20 mins
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (or can use 3 1/2 cups of your kesukaane whipped topping like Cool Whip)
- 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 12 graham crackers
- 2 1/2 cups mixture of fresh blackberries, raspberries blueberries, and hulled and sliced strawberries, divided leaving the prettiest slices for the top
Instructions
- Whip heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer or in a bowl with a hand mixer just until it holds soft peaks. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice and whip to combine until stiff peaks form. Do not over mix. Set aside 1/2 cup whipped cream for topping.
- In a separate large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the 3 cups of whipped cream or Cool Whip.
- To assemble, spread a thin layer of the cream mixture in the bottom on an 8 x 8 pan. Place 3 graham crackers across one end of the pan and then break up 1 or 2 more crackers as needed to fill in the gaps to cover the entire layer. Spread half of the cream mixture on top. Use approximately 1/3 of the mixed berries to create the next layer of the cake.
- Top with another layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to make them fit. Spread the remaining cream mixture over top and add another 1/3 of the berries.
- Top with the selesai layer of graham crackers. Spread the reserved 1/2 cup freshly whipped cream (or Cool Whip) evenly over the top.
- Place the last layer of the prettiest mixed berries reserved for the top. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the graham crackers have softened completely. Serve chilled and add optional toppings if desired.
