Description

This Unicorn No-Bake Strawberry Split Cake is a delightful, colorful dessert perfect for any occasion. Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust layered with a creamy, fluffy cream cheese and whipped cream mixture, it’s topped with fresh strawberries and optional rainbow sprinkles for a fun, festive touch. The no-bake preparation makes it easy and quick to assemble, with a refrigeration step to set the cake perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 box graham cracker crumbs (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 2 cups strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup rainbow-colored sprinkles (optional)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the cream cheese base: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring it’s light and fluffy.
  4. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, carefully mixing to maintain the airy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
  5. Assemble the filling: Spread the combined cream mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust in the pan, smoothing it into a flat layer.
  6. Add strawberries and sprinkles: Layer the chopped strawberries evenly over the cream mixture. Sprinkle with rainbow-colored sprinkles for a colorful finish, if using.
  7. Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and develop flavor.
  8. Serve: Once set, slice the cake into servings, add optional whipped topping if desired, serve chilled, and enjoy your vibrant unicorn-inspired dessert!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smoother mixing.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • The sprinkles add a fun visual element but can be omitted for a simpler look.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with whipped topping, but the texture will be less fluffy.
  • This cake must be refrigerated; do not attempt to freeze as it may affect texture.
