Here’s a classic, no-bake Strawberry Icebox Cake recipe — creamy, fruity, and perfect for a quick dessert.
🍓 Strawberry Icebox Cake
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (8 oz / 225g) package cream cheese, softened (optional for extra creaminess)
- 2–3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 box graham crackers (or chocolate wafers for variation)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Whipped Cream
- In a large bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Optional: Fold in softened cream cheese for a richer texture.
2️⃣ Layer the Cake
- In a 9×13-inch dish, place a single layer of graham crackers.
- Spread a layer of whipped cream over the crackers.
- Add a layer of sliced strawberries.
- Repeat layers until you use all ingredients, finishing with whipped cream on top.
3️⃣ Chill
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- This allows the graham crackers to soften and absorb the cream, creating a “cake” texture.
4️⃣ Serve
- Garnish with extra strawberries, chocolate shavings, or crushed graham crackers.
- Slice and serve chilled.
💡 Tips
- For more flavor, drizzle strawberries with a little sugar and let sit 10–15 minutes before layering.
- Add a layer of lemon curd or chocolate ganache for variety.
- Use cookie sheets to make individual mini icebox cakes for parties.
- Can be made a day ahead — it tastes even better the next day.
