Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring layers of whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and graham crackers. Perfect for summer, this light and refreshing icebox cake requires just four simple ingredients and minimal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 full sheets graham crackers
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Slice them thinly, about ¼ inch thick. Set aside.
  2. Chill a mixing bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes. Pour 1 ½ cups cold heavy whipping cream into the bowl. Add 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract). Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.
  3. In a 9×9-inch glass dish, start with a single layer of graham crackers (about 4 sheets broken to fit). Spread about one-third of the whipped cream evenly over the crackers. Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top. Repeat layers two more times—graham crackers, whipped cream, strawberries—finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
  4. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to let the graham crackers soften and soak up the cream and strawberry juices.
  5. Just before serving, garnish with extra fresh strawberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Chill the mixing bowl before whipping cream for better results. Use powdered sugar for smooth whipped cream. Chill the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Pat strawberries dry if watery to avoid soggy layers. Cover cake in fridge to prevent odor absorption. Optional vanilla extract can be added to whipped cream. Gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions available.
