Strawberry Ice Box Cake – no bake cake that is perfect for summer. Layers of fresh whipped cream, strawberries, and graham crackers. It will disappear quickly!

Memorial Day weekend is here. I really thought we had another week, but nope, it is this weekend. Do you have plans? I hope the weather can warm up and dry up, so that we might actually get to get outside and enjoy it. My son is obsessed with fishing lately, so I am sure that will be one of his requests. His other? Tennis. He used some of his money to buy a tennis racket, and wants to play all of the time! My plans will likely including breaking out the grill and if I am lucky doing some baking.
With summer pretty much here, it is time to break out the no bake desserts. Before long the it will be crazy hot out, and you will not feel like turning on the oven to make dessert. An Ice Box cake is the perfect solution. You can make almost any flavor Ice Box cake you want. I went with strawberries, since they are in season and delicious right now. All you have to do is layer fresh whipped cream with sliced strawberries and graham crackers. The whipped cream softens the graham crackers, so you can slice it and then they taste similar to a traditional cake.
Strawberry Ice Box Cake is definitely a crowd pleaser. I made this twice in one week. The first time I sent it into my husbands work. The second I had to share with our neighbors. They raved about it! I heard that one of them was caught sneaking more out of the fridge later. You can easily adjust the amount you want to make with this recipe. You can cut in half or even double it without much extra work! So make it this weekend and bring to your Memorial Day get together!
Strawberry Ice Box Cake
Ingredients
- 2 pounds strawberries, thinly sliced
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 box honey graham crackers
Instructions
- In an electric stand mixer whip heavy cream until soft peaks, about 3-5 minutes. Slowly add sugar and vanilla, and beat until stiff peaks.
- Using a 13×9 inch baking dish, spread a very thin layer of whipped cream along the bottom. Place a single layer of graham crackers, breaking up to fill in the cracks and edges if necessary. Spread about 1/3 of the whipped cream over the crackers. Place a generous layer of strawberries on top of the cream. Repeat with another layer of crackers, cream and berries until you have 3 layers.
- Place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
- Slice to serve.

I prefer desserts that are not super sweet and this cake has the right amount of sweetness. It’s a perfect summer cake and the strawberries and whipped cream make it taste so light.
