If you are looking for a quick and easy summer dessert recipe it doesn’t get any easier than this no-bake strawberry cake. In fact, the easy recipe calls for just 3 simple ingredients: fresh strawberries, Cool Whip, and graham crackers.

Made in a 9 x 13 pan, this easy cool whip icebox cake is perfect for a crowd as it can serve 12-16 depending on how you slice it.

How to Make Strawberry Icebox Cake

Start by gathering your ingredients.

2 containers of fresh strawberries, a tub of Cool Whip, and a box of graham crackers

You will need:

  • Strawberries: rinsed, patted dry, and sliced thinly
  • Cool Whip: 2-8oz tubs or 1-16oz tub, thawed. Cool Whip or Cool Whip Lite both work well for this recipe.
  • Graham crackers: I used about 2/3 of a 14.4 oz box

This layered strawberries and cream dessert is easy to make by alternating layers of graham crackers, Cool Whip, and fresh berries.

Graham Cracker Layer

First, spread a thin layer of Cool Whip on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Only a little bit of Cool Whip is needed, just to help keep the first layer of graham crackers in place.

Top with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking them apart as needed to fill the gaps.

Cool Whip spread evenly in baking pan

Next, spoon on 1/3 of the Cool Whip and use a spatula to spread in an even layer.

Top with a layer of chopped strawberries.

Now repeat the layers twice more, for a total of 3 layers each of graham crackers, whipped topping, and strawberries.

No-bake Strawberry Icebox Cake Recipe

Your final layer will be strawberries, which you can place in a decorative pattern if desired.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.

Slice, serve, and enjoy!

If you are lucky enough to have any leftovers, cover, and refrigerate to enjoy later. It will keep well in the fridge for at least 4 days. I often make this no-bake icebox cake for just our little family and enjoy it over 3 or 4 days.
