Sometimes I find a recipe and wonder why I never ran across it before…and this No Bake Strawberry Ice Box Cake is definitely one of those recipes. I must be living under a rock because this is one of the easiest and tastiest recipes I’ve ever made. It tastes incredibly fresh and the best thing is that it lasts in the refrigerator for several days…that is if you can manage not to eat it all at once!
It’s assembled in layers and they go together so quickly. Once you get your strawberries cleaned and sliced it takes literally a few minutes. Here’s what to do!
| Servings |
- 1 1/2 quarts strawberries
- 2 small or 1 large container Cool Whip I used Cool Whip Free
- 1 box graham crackers
Ingredients
| |
- Wash, hull and slice the strawberries. Set aside.
- In an 8 x 8 square pan, spoon a thin layer of Cool Whip on the bottom.
- Layer 9 squares of graham crackers followed by another layer of Cool Whip.
- Layer the strawberries on the Cool Whip.
- Repeat the layers twice ending with strawberries on top.
- Refrigerate 4 hours.
Will keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Technically you are supposed to make the layers three times. The first time I made this (when these pictures were taken) I got a little heavy-handed and made the Cool Whip layers too thick. I was only able to get two layers…but honestly it was so good that I don’t think it even matters.
If you don’t like the idea of using Cool Whip, you could use real whipping cream. I don’t think it would last as long in the refrigerator. If you were making and eating the same day then I think it would be delish.
This could easily be made in a 9 x 13 pan if you were feeding a crowd. Just get more strawberries and Cool Whip. You will have plenty of graham crackers if you have a full box.

Thank you for stopping by…see you soon!
OMG! That reminds me of how my mom used to assemble her version of “strawberry shortcake” for us kids. Only she would make individual servings for each of us by layering the graham crackers, whipped cream and strawberries on each of our plates. That was sooooooooo delicious. We used to lick the plate. LOL
What an easy peasy summer dessert! Can’t wait to try it.
Looks Yuummy and veryyyy easy!
Unfortunately I hate the taste and texture of cool whip so I usually skip anything that uses it. Of course sometimes it’s ok to just substitute the real thing.
Your photos look great!
