Equipment
- baking dish
- bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb sliced strawberries
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 10 graham crackers
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar to finish
Instructions
- Start by making the whipped cream. Beat together the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Place in the refrigerator until needed.
- Next, prepare the strawberries by slicing them into small pieces and setting them aside for later.
- Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with the graham crackers. Take care that they are evenly spread and fit snugly in the dish.
- Spread half of the whipped cream over the graham crackers. Layer on top of this, half of the sliced strawberries.
- Repeat step 4 by layering on another layer of whipped cream and then the remaining strawberries.
- Cover the baking dish and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set.
- When ready to serve, let the cake thaw slightly before slicing into individual pieces.
Notes
-To keep the cake from getting too hard, use a plastic knife to cut it.
-If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use store-bought ice cream as a substitution for whipped cream.
-For extra flavor, top with fresh fruits or chocolate syrup.
