This no-bake, easy Strawberry Ice Cream Cake is a favorite summer cake. It’s so simple: three layers of cinnamon honey graham crackers, French vanilla ice cream, soft and sweet whipped cream, and strawberry jam. To finish it off, add a generous topping of sweet whipped cream and fresh strawberries. This icy cold cake is creamy, extra berry-filled, and requires very little effort. If this doesn’t tell you that I’m ready for summer, I don’t know what will. I love this simple but delicious cake so much – and it’s EASY! It’s basically just a layer of sweet graham crackers with ice cream, whipped cream, and lots of strawberry jam. Originally, I wanted to share a strawberry icebox cake with you all today. But I didn’t actually take the time to fully understand that a strawberry icebox cake is usually made with strawberries and whipped cream, no ice cream. I wanted ice cream, so instead of scratching the idea, I decided to combine the ideas: ice cream, whipped cream, and so many layers of strawberries + cinnamon graham crackers – yum! Full disclosure, I did make my own homemade crackers and strawberry jam, which I think added to the yumminess here. But you don’t have to do that! Store-bought works great too. My very favorite store-bought jam is Bonne Maman’s , I love their jams! But if you live in a town with a local farm stand, I’d pick up their jam. I imagine it is so good! Anyway, very excited to share this recipe!! OK, here are the details Step 1: whip the cream I whip my cream with sugar and vanilla until I have super soft peaks. Nothing fancy about this. I recommend using an electric mixer – unless you want a serious arm workout! Step 2: assemble Use your favorite box of graham crackers. Personally, I love the cinnamon honey flavor. Then, use your favorite French vanilla ice cream. Tillamook is my favorite. Layer the graham crackers with the ice cream, whipped cream, and strawberry jam. Then, another layer of crackers, ice cream, and whipped cream, and finish with jam + 1 final layer of crackers. Wrap the cake up and freeze until it is firm. Step 3: cutting the cake Okay, so here’s my trick: Cut the cake before you add the last dollops of whipped cream. I promise this will save you a lot of headaches and mess. I cut my cake around each graham cracker into nine squares. Step 4: topping Top the cake with dollops of freshly whipped cream, jam, and fresh, sliced berries. You could totally add raspberries and blueberries, too. That would be festive! Now, serve! This cake is sweet, heavy on ice cream, swirled with berries, and has just the right amount of crunch on the bottom from those sweetened crackers. It has the perfect balance of sweet and salty that leaves you longing for another bite. Can’t wait to make this all summer long. I love not only how easy it is but how pretty and delicious it turns out! Looking for other Summer ice cream recipes?
