Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces cream cheese -softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 sheets graham crackers (1-ounce/30g) or use vanilla or chocolate wafers
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
US - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a separate small bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until thick peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well blended.
  • Place a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 10-ounce ramekin or similar dessert dish, breaking them as needed to fit.
  • Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
  • Sprinkle half of the blueberries over the cream layer.
  • Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the blueberries.
  • Spread the remaining cream mixture over the crackers and top with the remaining blueberries.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until the layers soften and the cake sets.

Notes

  • Create Even Layers: Spread each layer evenly so the icebox cake chills and sets with a consistent texture.
  • Chill for Best Results: Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours so the graham crackers absorb moisture and soften into cake-like layers.
  • Use the Right Dish: A 10-ounce ramekin or similarly sized dessert dish works best for this single serving icebox cake.
  • Finish with Toppings: For added flavor, drizzle melted chocolate or homemade caramel over the top just before serving.
 
If doubling this recipe use a 5x5 inch dish or one 0f similar size.
