Equipment

2 Mixing bowls
1 Hand mixer or mixing stand
1 8″ x 8″ baking dish

Ingredients

3 cups Catalina Crunch Keto Cinnamon Toast or Honey Graham Cereal crushed and divided
6 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
8 ounces cream cheese room temperture
1/2 cup sugar-free confectioners sugar divided
1 pint Heavy whipping cream (2 cups)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract divided
1 pint fresh strawberries hulled and diced, plus extra for garnishing

Instructions

Place keto cereal in a food processor and blend until crumbly. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, mix in melted butter with 2 cups of the prepared keto cereal crumbs. Save the remaining cup of crumbs for layering.
Add 2 cups of the prepared crumbs to the bottom of a 8 x 8 baking dish. Press the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the cream cheese mixture.
In a medium size mixing bowl add the cream cheese and with a hand mixer blend on medium-high until creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and gradually add 1/4 cup of sugar-free confectioners sugar. Mix until combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl add the heavy whipping cream. On low-speed whip until soft peaks form (4-5 minutes) gradually increasing the speed to medium. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1/4 cups of sugar-free confectioners sugar. Whip until firm peaks form (8-9 minutes total).
Fold in two cups of prepared whipping cream to the cream cheese mix.

Assembling Icebox Cake

Remove the crust from the refrigerator and add 1 cup of the cream cheese mix on top of the crust. Spread forming a single layer.
Place 1 cup of the diced strawberris over the cream cheese layer.
Top strawberries with 1 cup of the prepared whipped cream.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of crumbs over the whipped cream layer (reserve 2 tablespoons for garnishing).
Repeat layers with the remaining ingredients: cream cheese, strawberries, whipped cream.
Garnish the top of the cake with sliced strawberries and cereal crumbs.

Notes

I prefer to assemble this no bake dessert ahead of time and store it in the fridge until I am ready to serve it. I think it’s best if you have time to chill in the fridge for 6-8 hours before serving.
Before you start to make this recipe, make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it will cream well, and you will have a smooth cream cheese layer.
If you are using a stand mixer I think using the whisk attachment works best for making the whipped cream.
To add a stabilizer to the whipped cream, add 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar when incorporating the sweetener.
