STEP TWELVE: Layer the sliced fresh strawberries over the top of all the vanilla wafer cookies so that they are in a single layer.

STEP THIRTEEN: Spread the remaining strawberry cheesecake filling evenly over the fresh sliced strawberries being careful not to disturb the fresh strawberry layer. Top this layer with the remaining half box of the vanilla wafer cookies in a single layer.

STEP FOURTEEN: Spread the other half of the homemade whipped cream evenly over the top of the final layer of vanilla wafer cookies.

STEP SIXTEEN: Chill the strawberry shortcake icebox cake in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours or up to overnight.

PRO TIP:

I like to chill my strawberry shortcake icebox cake overnight to really allow the layers of vanilla wafers cookies to soften and blend into the creamy filling. You do not have to let it chill overnight, but just remember that your cookies may still have a crispness to them when slicing and serving.
