STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM ICE BOX CAKE

This cake has to go onto your to-make list. For two reasons: for once, the no-bake desserts season is upon us; second - the strawberry season is even closer. No-bake dessert recipes like this are going to be very handy. This cake is perfect for a spring or summer weekend afternoon or for a potluck or get-together with friends! Who can say no to sweet and creamy vanilla? If you love strawberry desserts, you will enjoy my Strawberry Layer Cake or the Strawberry Pie Crumb Bars!

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM ICE BOX CAKE?

 

The popular ice box cake is most definitely the easiest cake you can make. All you need to do is layer the graham crackers with the filling and top with berries. It doesn't get easier than that! The fridge does all the work. It sets the filling to a mousse-like consistency and softens the cookies so it is easy to slice it.

    I live for simple desserts like this in the summer! Especially with Texas getting so scorching hot, I can't bear the idea of turning on the oven. Saving to try soon! Thanks!

    That sounds so easy, yet so good. I don't know why I've never tried icebox cake, but now I must. Bet this would be great with some homemade fudge sauce! 🙂

    It does look delish! And sounds quite easy. I have no idea what I can use for the Graham crackers though. Probably just some kind of whole wheat biscuits...?
    Every dish looks so much fancier in small glasses...

      Are you in UK? I think digestive biscuits will be a great substitute here. Hope you will give this a try! Thank you, Mademoiselle Gourmande!
