Strawberry Icebox No-bake Cake
Icebox cakes are desserts made from cool whip, whipped cream, or custards layered between graham crackers. After sitting in the refrigerator the ingredients merge into a moist, creamy cake.
Ingredients (Serves 8 )
4-5 cups fresh strawberries, pureed
6 cups (16oz. container) of Cool Whip, or
3 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 sleeves (about 24 to 28 crackers) graham crackers
Preparation
1. Combine strawberries and sugar. Puree with hand mixer, or food processor.
2. If using cool whip combine with confectioners sugar and vanilla. Stir to mix. If using whipping cream, whip 3 cups of cream until it just holds stiff peaks. Add the confectioners sugar, and vanilla, and whip to combine.
3. Spread a small spoonful of cool whip (or whipped cream) on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan, or a like-sized dish. Lay six graham crackers out. Lightly cover the the graham crackers with more cool whip (or whipped cream) and then a single layer of strawberry puree. Repeat three times, until you have four layers of graham crackers. Spread any remaining cool whip (or whipped cream) over the top and spread.
4. Move cake to freezer and chill for at least 30mins. Remove cake from freezer, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least four hours, or until the crackers have softened completely.
