Ingredients
– 2 cups heavy whipping cream
– 3/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 1 package (14.4 oz) graham crackers
– Additional strawberries for decoration (optional)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to whip up your Strawberry Icebox Cake:
1. Prepare Whipping Cream: In a large bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.
2. Layer Ingredients: In a rectangular dish, spread a layer of whipped cream at the bottom to begin.
3. Add Graham Crackers: Place a layer of graham crackers on top of the whipped cream, filling the bottom of the dish.
4. First Fruit Layer: Add a layer of sliced strawberries over the graham crackers, and then cover them with more whipped cream.
5. Repeat Layers: Continue layering in this order: graham crackers, whipped cream, and strawberries, until you reach the top of the dish or run out of your ingredients.
6. Final Cream Layer: Finish with a generous layer of whipped cream on the top layer.
7. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the graham crackers to soften.
8. Serve: When ready to serve, slice into squares and enjoy! Optionally, you can garnish with additional strawberries for a more appealing presentation.
These steps transform simple ingredients into a glorious cake that is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate.
