No-bake layered icebox cake with whipped cream, graham crackers and juicy strawberries; chill for clean, festive slices.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dairy & Cream
01 - 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
02 - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Cookies & Base
04 - 1 (14-ounce) box graham crackers
→ Fruit
05 - 1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
→ Optional Garnish
06 - 1/4 cup fresh blueberries (optional)
07 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
02 - Spread a thin, even layer of the whipped cream across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent crackers from sliding.
03 - Arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking pieces as needed to cover the surface without large gaps.
04 - Spread one-third of the remaining whipped cream over the graham crackers, then distribute one-third of the sliced strawberries in an even layer.
05 - Repeat the sequence twice more: a full layer of graham crackers, one-third of the whipped cream, and one-third of the strawberries, finishing with a top layer of whipped cream and the remaining strawberries arranged neatly.
06 - For a festive presentation, scatter the blueberries over the top and tuck in mint leaves as desired.
07 - Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to soften and meld.
08 - Using a sharp knife, slice chilled portions carefully for clean layers and serve immediately.
