This Strawberry Icebox Cake is a simple, no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy whipped topping, crunchy graham crackers, and fresh sliced strawberries. Chilled in the refrigerator, the chilled layers meld together for a light, refreshing treat perfect for warm days or any occasion that calls for a quick and delicious dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Topping

  • 2 (8 oz) containers Cool Whip, thawed

Fruit

  • 1 1/2 lbs strawberries, hulled and sliced

Crackers

  • 1 1/2 packs graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Spread Whipped Topping: Spread half of one container (about 4 oz) of the thawed Cool Whip evenly in the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan, creating a creamy base layer for the cake.
  2. Layer Graham Crackers: Arrange a layer of graham crackers over the whipped topping, breaking the crackers as needed to cover the entire surface without gaps.
  3. Add More Whipped Topping: Spread another half container (about 4 oz) of Cool Whip evenly over the graham crackers, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  4. Layer Strawberries: Distribute one third of the sliced strawberries evenly over the whipped topping layer.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process twice more: graham crackers, whipped topping, strawberries, then finish with a final layer of graham crackers, the remaining whipped topping, and strawberries on top.
  6. Chill and Set: Cover the pan and refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours to allow the graham crackers to soften and flavors to meld together before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum flavor and sweetness.
  • Thaw Cool Whip completely before assembling to ensure easy spreading.
  • You can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits if desired.
  • This cake is best served chilled within 24 hours but can be stored covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
  • Optionally, garnish with additional whole strawberries or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers before serving for presentation.
