A light and refreshing no-bake icebox cake layered with creamy peach cream cheese filling, buttery cookies, and fresh peaches, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 24–30 graham crackers or digestive biscuits
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: In a bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice and honey (if using). Set aside for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into cream cheese: Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
  5. Assemble the cake: Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of graham crackers over the cream. Spread another layer of cream over the crackers, then add a layer of peach slices. Repeat layering until ingredients are used, finishing with a cream layer on top.
  6. Chill the cake: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Serve: Garnish with extra peach slices or crushed graham crackers before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid overwhipping. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airy texture. Drain excess liquid from peaches if very juicy to prevent soggy layers. Chill overnight for best texture. Consume within 1-2 days for optimal cracker texture. Can substitute coconut cream and vegan ingredients for dairy-free/vegan version.
