Ingredients Needed:
- Butter Cookies ~ I used Chessman Cookies, any butter cookie will work.
- Cream Cheese
- Powdered Sugar
- Lemon Juice
- Cool Whip or Sweetened Whipped Cream
- Fresh Berries: Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries. Frozen berries will work, thaw and drain well before using.
How to Make Berry Icebox Cake:
- With an electric mixer, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and lemon juice at low speed until combined, raise to medium speed and mix about 1 minute until well combined.
- Fold in Cool Whip.
- Using a 9 x 9 – inch baking dish, layer butter cookies to cover the bottom.
- Next, you will top the cookies with half of the cream cheese mixture, spreading in an even layer. An offset spatula works great for this.
- Scatter berries over the cream cheese mixture.
- Then add another layer of the cookies.
- Add the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top, smoothing to the edges of the pan.
- Finish with berries, creating a flag design if you it’s for a patriotic celebration.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Cut into squares for serving.
How Long Will Icebox Cake Stay Fresh:
- Icebox cake can be made a few days in advance. It is best served within 2 days but will keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
