Creating this No Bake Strawberry Ice Box Cake is a breeze, and you only need a few basic ingredients. It comes together in no time and boasts an incredible flavor profile. Get ready to fall in love with this no-bake dessert, especially with that luscious chocolate ganache.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 quart of heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1/3 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract (optional)
  • 14.4 ounces of graham crackers (1 box)
  • 1 cup of milk chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks)

Instructions:

  1. Start by washing and slicing your strawberries.
  2. Whip up 3 1/4 cups of the heavy cream using a hand mixer or a stand mixer until it holds stiff peaks.
  3. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond extract (if you’re using it) and mix until well combined.
  4. Begin by covering the bottom of your pan with graham cracker sheets.
  5. Lightly coat the top of the graham crackers with a thin layer of whipped cream, followed by a single layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat these layers two more times.
  6. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and give it a gentle swirl with a spoon. Add a few more strawberry slices.
  7. For the ganache, heat the remaining cream until it starts to bubble around the edges, then pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then whisk until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
  8. Drizzle this ganache over the layered dessert using a spoon, or you can transfer it to a squeeze bottle for more precision.
  9. Refrigerate for at least four hours, or until the graham crackers have completely softened.
  10. Garnish with extra berries to make it even more delightful.

This dessert is a perfect treat for any occasion! 😍🍓🍰
