No-Bake Strawberry Lemon Icebox Cake

This icebox cake features layers of lemon-flavored cream and fresh strawberries sandwiched between graham crackers, which soften as they chill in the refrigerator. The preparation time is minimal, and it serves about 8 people.

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (14.4 oz) graham crackers
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Zest of 1 lemon for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the lemon curd and vanilla extract until well combined.
Layer the Cake: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the lemon cream mixture on the bottom. Place a layer of graham crackers over the cream, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of lemon cream on top.
Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the graham crackers to soften.
Serve: Once chilled, slice the cake into squares and garnish with lemon zest if desired. Serve cold and enjoy the refreshing flavors.
