Icebox Cheesecake with Berries

Ice Box Cheesecake with Berries (10 to 12 servings)

  • 14 graham crackers (full-size, with 4 sections)
  • 3 cups whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups assorted berries

-Line a 9" x 13" baking pan with half the graham crackers, in a single layer.

-Whip the cream in the bowl of your mixer with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form, about 2

minutes.

-Add the confectioners sugar and vanilla extract and whip until completely incorporated and fluffy.

-Add the cream cheese (cut into 1" chunks) and whip until it is thoroughly mixed and smooth, with

no lumps (about 3 minutes). Test it to be sure there are absolutely no little lumps hiding in there!

-Spread half of the cream mixture over the graham crackers which you've already layered into the

pan. Top the cream with another layer of graham crackers, then spread this layer of graham

crackers with the remaining cream. Top with the berries.

-Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving, to enable the graham crackers to soften.
