Easy Strawberry Icebox Cake

If I could take one cake with me to a deserted island (alone), it would be this easy strawberry icebox cake! No-bake icebox cake recipes are typically so versatile, simple, nostalgic, and delicious and this one certainly fits that bill.

As to its simplicity, it really doesn’t get easier than this strawberry no bake dessert. In under 30 mins, 27 to be exact, I had a beautiful icebox cake assembled and ready to be chilled.

I have to say that I LOVED the idea of carefully folding the strawberry puree into the whipped cream. It produced a pretty strawberry-speckled, fluffy, cloud-like delicious filling. Plus, when it came time to assemble the cake, it was much easier to just spread this filling rather than layer sliced strawberries and whipped cream separately.

The assembly process was clearly laid out in the directions and worked well. A 2 qt. Pyrex dish held all of the layers and used up all of the cookies and filling. Minimal breakage of cookies was needed to produce a solid layer of cookies. It was covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight for about 12 hrs total.

As suspected, the final dish was loved by all who devoured it. I could tell they were all secretly thinking about that deserted island! The dish was pillowy and creamy with a perfectly sweetened, fresh strawberry taste.

The wafers had a very, very slight bite, as they had absorbed some of that strawberry whipped cream puree. A very special no-bake dessert perfect for a warm summer day!
