Strawberry Icebox Cake
This dessert looks amazing and tastes just as good! It’s my go to dessert when I need something fast. It’s simple and easy with only 3 ingredients!
It does not get any simpler than this! You are going to love how amazing it tastes. Despite how easy it is, it tastes like you spent a ton of time on this creamy dessert.
The strawberries and whipped topping blend to make decadent layers between the graham crackers. This easy dessert reminds me of strawberry shortcake.
No bake strawberry icebox cake is even better made in advance!
I like to refrigerate this dessert for at least 4 hours before serving. It gives the flavors time to blend and the graham crackers time to soften. Yum!
It’s even better if you make it the day before. You can make it and put in the fridge the day before you want to eat it. Simply take out when you are ready to serve.
No bake desserts are the best! Don’t let this simple cake fool you! It tastes amazing.
It’s great at potlucks, BBQ’s, parties and more! It’s also very inexpensive to make! We also love Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza Recipe for another easy recipe idea!
So easy!
Make sure you have a good pan. This recipe calls for an 8×8 baking pan. I just had to replace several of mine and found some on sale on Amazon.
I love the ones with lids especially if I am taking this dessert somewhere. This set from Wilton is my favorite.
I also like to take this dessert when I’m taking a meal to new moms or those recovering from surgery. In those instances, I use disposable 8×8 pans to they can just be tossed.
This is so handy so no one has to worry about washing and returning. Plus, they have the ones with the lids as well. They are so convenient.

Linda Smith says
This is in regards to the strawberry icebox cake. I’ve made it before but my recipe calls for putting the graham crackers in first and then layering. Looking at the picture it looks like that’s what was done. It would be messy scooping out with the cool whip down first. What do you think?
Carrie says
Linda – Either way would work great. We usually start with the whipped cream because we love lots of whipped cream but starting with the graham crackers would work great too!
sunni says
is this recipe keto friendly..?
Carrie says
No, it’s not keto friendly. Thanks.
Karen Martinez says
I made this again for my Secret Sister Reveal party at my church. I added some blueberries on the top layer. It was such a big hit the last time I made it.
Carrie says
Yum! Great idea – thanks for sharing.
Peggy says
I made this for a graduation party. Easy and a big hit. I think it’s even yummier the longer it sits. I ate it the day after my party and it was more moist and had a more strawberry flavor. Yummy and easy
Kandice says
Could you make this the night before and freeze it then bring it out to defrost? Or would it be soggy?
Carrie says
If you are making it the night before serving it, I would just store it in the refrigerate. You would not need to freeze it. It tastes great made the day before as the flavor has time to combine. I hope you enjoy the recipe. Thank you!
Janet says
I made this recipe and my husband and granddaughter loved it.
Can you use honey graham crackers instead of Nabisco graham crackers?
Angie says
I see you recommend making it the night before, do you foresee any issue if it sat for two nights before serving? Thank you!
Mary says
Can u use fresh whipped cream?
