No bake strawberry icebox cake
ingredients
The ingredients for this refreshing & delicious dessert are:
- 1 16 oz container of fresh strawberries
- 2 containers of 8 oz Cool Whip (I used zero sugar to make it Keto/diabetic friendly)
- 1 box graham crackers
Let’s make no-bake strawberry icebox cake!
Take a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread a thin layer of the whipped cream on the bottom. This will help the graham crackers stick to the dish.
Next, arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking them if needed to fit the dish. Ensure the entire bottom of the dish is covered with a layer of graham crackers.
Spoon a generous amount of whipped cream over the graham crackers, spreading it evenly to create a smooth layer.
keep layering…
Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream, covering the entire surface. Be generous with the strawberries to achieve a burst of fruity flavor. Repeat the layering process: graham crackers, whipped cream, and strawberries. Continue until you reach the top of the casserole pan, making sure to end with a layer of strawberries on top.
I save a couple of graham crackers to crush up and sprinkle on top, but this is totally optional.
- 2 8 oz containers Cool Whip thawed
- 1 16 oz container of fresh strawberries
- 1 box of graham crackers
- Spread a thin layer (about ½ of a container) of Cool Whip on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
- Add a layer of graham crackers, breaking as necessary to cover whipped topping.
- Top with another ½ container of whipped topping and smooth with a spatula.
- Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream, covering the entire surface and be generous.
- Repeat the layering process: graham crackers, whipped cream, and strawberries. Continue until you run out of ingredients, making sure to end with a layer of strawberries on top.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This chilling time allows the graham crackers to soften and meld with the cream and strawberries.
tips for making No bake strawberry icebox cake:
- Select strawberries that are ripe, fragrant, and sweet. This will ensure the best flavor and juiciness in your dessert.
- You can make your own whipped cream by using 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar & a tsp of vanilla extract. Just follow the instructions on the side of the heavy cream container.
- When assembling the cake, aim for even layers of graham crackers, whipped cream, and strawberries. This will ensure each bite has a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
- Once assembled, let the cake sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together, and the cake becomes even more delicious the longer it sits.
- Try using other fruits to make this dessert! Blueberries would be an awesome choice! You can even use blueberries, along with the strawberries for a delicious, patriotic dish!
- Feel free to experiment with additional garnishes such as mint leaves, chocolate shavings, or extra sliced strawberries. These add a touch of visual appeal and extra flavor to your dessert.
- Ensure your Strawberry Ice Box Cake is served chilled for the best taste and texture. It’s the perfect way to beat the summer heat and enjoy a refreshing dessert.
