This Heavenly White Icebox Cake is the ultimate no-bake dessert—light, creamy, and irresistibly fluffy. Perfect for holidays, birthdays, or any time you crave a chilled treat, it features layers of soft cake or cookies, whipped topping, and creamy filling.
Ingredients:
- 2 packages vanilla sandwich cookies or graham crackers (or use baked white cake slices)
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant white chocolate or vanilla pudding mix
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- Optional: shredded coconut, white chocolate shavings, or sprinkles for topping
Instructions:
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix until thickened (about 2 minutes). Fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the whipped topping until combined.
- Layer the Cake: In a 9×13-inch dish, spread a thin layer of the filling on the bottom. Add a single layer of vanilla sandwich cookies or cake slices. Spread a thick layer of the creamy filling over the cookies. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results. The cookies or cake layers will soften and become cake-like.
- Serve: Before serving, optionally top with shredded coconut, white chocolate curls, or sprinkles. Cut into squares and enjoy chilled.
