No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced (not frozen)

1 1/2 sleeves graham crackers

Directions

1. Place a large bowl in the freezer for twenty minutes.

2. Pour your cold whipping cream into your cold bowl and add vanilla extract. Mix on low speed while incorporating all of the powdered sugar. Turn the mixer to medium-high speed and mix for approximately 4-6 minutes until you have whipped cream. Do not over mix or it will turn into butter!

3. Add about 1/4 cup of whipping cream to an 8x8 pan or loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth it out. This is your base layer.

   Layer remaining ingredients as follows:

   (1) Whipped cream

   (2) Graham crackers

   (3) Whipped cream

   (4) Strawberries

   (5) Whipped Cream

   (6) Graham Crackers

   (7) Whipped cream

   (8) Strawberries

   (9) Whipped cream

   (10) Graham Crackers

   (11) Whipped cream

4. Refrigerate for four hours so the graham crackers have time to soften. Serve cold as is or with a drizzle of melted chocolate.

   ** TIPS: Do not use frozen strawberries or you will have a soggy icebox cake. Make sure your strawberries are dry after you wash them. Add mini chocolate chips or bananas for variation. You can sub frozen whipped topping for homemade whipped cream.
