I love these simple and easy desserts for summer. This strawberry icebox cake only uses 5 ingredients all in one dish and there’s absolutely no baking. Very refreshing. The graham crackers turn into a cake like consistency after being in the refrigerator for 4 hours to set.
Strawberry Icebox Cake
Ingredients
- 3 cups Heavy Cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 lbs fresh strawberries
- 3 pks or sleeves graham crackers
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries, by cutting off the leafy tops. Cut strawberries in slices. The end slices save for the of cake.
- In a large mixing bowl place heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until thick consistancy.
- Place a thin layer of the whipped cream into the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. This will keep the next layer of graham cracker from shifting around.
- Build 1st layer starting with a layer of graham crackers. Break some in half if needed to fit. Place 1/3 of the whipped cream and smooth evenly. Add 1/2 of the strawberry slices. (Note: you will still have the end slices that are separate and will be used at the end.)
- Build 2nd layer with graham crackers, another 1/3 of whipped cream and he other half of the strawberry slices.
- On the 3rd layer, place graham crackers, the rest of whipped cream, and then place the strawberry end slices that were set aside earlier to decorate the top of the cake..
- Cover with a layer of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Enjoy.
