This Strawberry Icebox Cake is a simple, no-bake dessert featuring layers of cool, creamy whipped topping, sweet sliced strawberries, and crunchy graham crackers. Perfect for a quick and refreshing treat, it requires minimal preparation and chilling in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld and the graham crackers soften into a cake-like texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz) containers Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 1/2 lbs strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 1/2 packs graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base layer. Spread half of one container of thawed Cool Whip evenly across the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan, creating a creamy base.
  2. Layer graham crackers. Add a single layer of graham crackers on top of the whipped topping, breaking crackers as needed to completely cover the surface.
  3. Add whipped topping. Spread the remaining half of the first container of Cool Whip evenly over the graham crackers and smooth it out with a spatula.
  4. Add strawberries. Distribute one-third of the sliced strawberries evenly over the whipped topping layer.
  5. Repeat layering. Continue layering in the following order: graham crackers, Cool Whip (use the second container, spread evenly), strawberries, then graham crackers again, followed by the last of the Cool Whip, and finish with the remaining strawberries on top.
  6. Chill the cake. Cover the pan and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, allowing the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the Cool Whip is fully thawed for easier spreading.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • The cake can be refrigerated overnight for enhanced flavor and texture.
  • To vary the recipe, other berries like blueberries or raspberries can be substituted or added.
  • Allow sufficient refrigeration time for the graham crackers to become soft and cake-like.
