This strawberry icebox cake is the perfect treat for hot summer days when you want something sweet but do not want to turn on the oven. Everyone loves how the graham crackers soak up the moisture from the cream to create a texture just like a soft cake.

My best tip is to make sure you let the cake chill in the refrigerator for at least six hours. This time allows the layers to set properly and ensures every bite is perfectly soft and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  • 1 box graham crackers

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.

  2. 2

    Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream on the bottom of an 8x8 inch square baking dish.

  3. 3

    Arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the cream, breaking them if necessary to fit the space.

  4. 4

    Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the crackers, then top with a layer of sliced strawberries.

  5. 5

    Repeat these layers of crackers, cream, and strawberries until you have used all your ingredients, finishing with a final layer of cream and strawberries on top.

  6. 6

    Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least six hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want a little extra crunch, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers over the top right before you serve it to your guests.
