This Strawberry Icebox Cake is a simple and refreshing dessert made with layers of juicy strawberries, whipped cream, and graham crackers. Itβs a perfect make-ahead treat thatβs light, creamy, and utterly irresistible!
Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh strawberries, sliced
1 box graham crackers
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (optional for extra creaminess)
Instructions:
Prepare the Whipped Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in the whipped topping if desired.
Layer the Cake:
- Spread a thin layer of whipped cream at the bottom of a 9Γ13-inch dish.
- Add a single layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking pieces as needed to fit.
- Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the graham crackers, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries.
Repeat the Layers:
- Continue layering graham crackers, whipped cream, and strawberries until you reach the top of the dish. Finish with a layer of whipped cream and a decorative arrangement of strawberry slices.
Chill the Cake:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours, or overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften and meld with the cream.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Slice into squares and serve chilled.
