CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Cover the bottom of an 8-inch cake pan with a layer of about 12 cookies. Top with about 1/2 cup of the whipped cream and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a third of the strawberries and 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Top with about 1/2 cup more of the whipped cream.
• Repeat with another layer of cookies, whipped cream, strawberries, chocolate chips, and then more whipped cream.
• Add a final layer of cookies followed by the last of the whipped cream. Arrange the remaining strawberries in any pattern you like and sprinkle with the last 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, so that the cookies soften and absorb the balsamic whipped cream. Slice into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Put the cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until soft. Add the cream, confectioners' sugar, preserves, lemon juice and vanilla, and beat until it just holds stiff peaks.
• Arrange about a third of the graham crackers on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (or a loaf pan plus an 8-inch square baking dish), fitting in as many as possible without overlapping. Spoon a third of the cream mixture on top and smooth evenly with an offset spatula. Arrange a third of the strawberries on top in a single layer. Repeat to make three layers of each. Put the remaining graham cracker in a resealable plastic bag and crush it to make crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs all over the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the cookies soften, at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
