Print Recipe

A refreshing, no-bake dessert featuring layers of fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and graham crackers. Perfect for summer gatherings or a cool treat on a hot day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 grams) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Graham crackers (enough for layering)

Instructions

  1. Wash and prep the strawberries: Rinse 2 pounds of strawberries under cold water, remove the stems, and slice them into thin pieces. Set aside.
  2. Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form. If using store-bought whipped cream, skip this step.
  3. Layer the cake: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of whipped cream to coat the bottom. Add a layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to fit the dish.
  4. Add strawberries: Spread a layer of sliced strawberries evenly over the graham crackers.
  5. Repeat layers: Continue layering whipped cream, graham crackers, and strawberries until you fill the dish or run out of ingredients. Finish with a layer of whipped cream on top.
  6. Cover and chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
  7. Garnish and serve: Before serving, add a few whole strawberries or mint leaves for garnish. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, let the cake chill overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Use a serrated knife to slice the cake neatly, wiping the blade between cuts for clean slices.
