Strawberry Icebox Cake

Strawberry season is upon us and what better way to use them then in this no bake light and airy cake. There are only three simple ingredients that make up this delicious dessert, so how hard can it be? A bit of assembly and a little wait time while it refrigerates and that’s it! You can make your own whip cream if you feel so inclined, but I really like CocoWhip which is found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. Go ahead and whip up an icebox cake, it’s perfect for these crazy hot summer days!

Serves 6-8

 
 

Ingredients

1 (14.4oz) box (408g) Nabisco Original Graham Crackers (They are naturally Vegan) or other Vegan Graham cracker
2 (9oz, 255g) tubs CocoWhip Dairy Free Whipped Topping
2 lbs of Fresh Strawberries

Note: You can make the cake with other flat Vegan cookies such as Biscoff.

Strawberries: Reserve about 6 strawberries of varying sizes for garnish. Only garnish the cake close to serving time as fresh cut berries do not hold up refrigerated.

Directions

1. Wash, pat dry and slice your strawberries. Reserve about 6-8 of varying sizes for topping the cake. Set aside

2. In a large glass baking dish, (square or rectangular) spread a thin even layer of the whipped cream. Lay down a single layer of graham crackers. It’s ok to break them into smaller pieces to fit the dish.

3. Spread an even layer of whipped cream over the graham crackers and then layer the strawberry slices. Layer more whipped cream followed by another layer of graham crackers and then keep it going until you have about 3-4 layers. I was able to get 4 layers into a 9x9 square dish.

4. Once all of the layers are complete, you should have a layer of whipped cream on top. Place the dish into the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

5. When ready to serve decorate the top with remaining strawberries. Best to serve chilled as it will also be easier to cut. Cake will keep up to 24 hours refrigerated.
