How to Make Graham Cracker Icebox Cake

  1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or a zip-top bag and a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Make sure it's evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  8. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and confectioners' sugar until pale and frothy.
  9. Carefully fold the egg mixture into the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture until just combined. Be gentle to maintain airiness.
  10. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  11. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set completely.
  12. Before serving, garnish with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream (optional).
