This easy no bake dessert recipe is PERFECT year round, but you will especially love this easy ice box cake as a great summer no bake treat!

Texas is currently experiencing record breaking temperatures. It’s HOT, it’s humid and honestly if you aren’t in a pool, you have no business being outside. People have posted pictures of tar in parking lots actually MELTING and bubbling.
Yuck.
I have been using my Instant Pot and Slow Cooker a LOT to avoid heating up the house with the oven. This easy ice box cake requires NO heat whatsoever and comes together really quickly. Plus, it’s a nice cold treat. Make this for your family or bring this to your next summer poolside potluck!
FYI, I used strawberries and blueberries for this easy ice box cake this time. However, my family prefers this with strawberries, raspberries & blackberries. I just knew I was going to photograph it this time, and thought the strawberry/blueberry combo would be prettier 😉 . All that to say, what fruit you use is up to you!
Easy Ice Box Cake with Berries & (Optional) White Chocolate Drizzle
Inspired By Cakes Cottage
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of Vanilla Pudding (3.4 oz)
- 6 oz of whipped cream or Cool Whip
- 1 1/4 cup cold milk
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- Graham Crackers (I use about one sleeve)
- 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
- 3/4 cup blueberries
- (optional) Melt White Chocolate Chips to drizzle on the top
Directions:
- In your mixing bowl or stand mixer (I have a KitchenAid…I love it and could not live without it!) whip up your softened cream cheese and dry pudding mix
- Next beat in your milk about a 1/4 cup at a time.
- Fold in 4 oz of your whipped cream (you’ll save a small amount of it to layer the bottom of your loaf pan) until well combined
- Grab a glass loaf pan (I like to use the glass loaf pan so you can see the layers!) and spread the rest of your whipped cream on the bottom.
- Put a single layer of graham crackers on top of the whipped cream, breaking crackers where necessary to get the most coverage.
- Next spread 1/3 of the pudding mixture on top of the graham crackers.
- Top with 1/3 of the berries
- Repeat the graham cracker/pudding/fruit layers two more times (for a total of 3 layers).
- Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours (the graham crackers will soften).
- Drizzle your white chocolate on top and then serve!
