Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cold heavy cream
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chai spice blend (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove)
1 box honey graham crackers

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the cold heavy cream, vanilla extract, and chai spice blend to the bowl.
Whip the mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over-beat.
Spread a thin layer of the spiced cream mixture onto the bottom of a 9×9 inch square dish.
Arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the cream, breaking pieces as needed to fill the gaps.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the crackers to soften into a cake-like texture.

Notes

Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve the best volume. The chill time is non-negotiable for the proper texture. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
