    Frequently asked questions about icebox cake.

    What is an icebox cake?


    An icebox cake is a popular no-bake dessert that is especially popular during the warm summer months. This chilled cake is usually made with layers of cookies, whipped cream, and fruit.

    Icebox cakes became popular about the time that people started using refrigerators or 'ice boxes'. Since then, icebox cakes have become more elaborate and flavorful, with recipes calling for a variety of cookies, whipped cream flavors, fruits and toppings.

    How do you make an icebox cake?


    Ice box cakes are relatively simple to make.
    A basic recipe for ice box cake usually requires three ingredients: cookies, whipped cream, and fruit.

    To make an icebox cake, simply layer the cookies, whipped cream, and fruit in a baking dish Then refrigerate dish for at least four hours or overnight. The cookies will soften and the whipped cream will firm up, creating a delicious and refreshing dessert.

    Tips for making a no bake strawberry icebox cake.

    Whipped topping (the tub kind) is an essential ingredient in this recipe. If you cannot find a sugar free whipped topping in the freezer section of your local grocery store, you can use this recipe for Sugar Free Whipped Topping to make your own.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Sugar free graham crackers are very hard to find. However, one regular graham cracker has about a gram of sugar in it if you are okay with that.
    2. Strawberries are used in this recipe for color and flavor. You can alternatively use another fruit with or instead of the strawberries. Peaches or berries are good choices for example.
    3. Using fresh fruit is recommended for this recipe. This is because frozen or packaged fruit often has other ingredients (such as sugar) added and frozen fruit can get watery as it thaws out.

    How to store strawberry icebox cake.

    This dessert is really best within 24 hours after it has been freshly made. However, if you have leftovers, you can wrap them well in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to four days- after which the crunchy ingredients get too soggy to enjoy.

    About this easy strawberry dessert.

    ย 

    Strawberry Icebox Cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is especially perfect as a summer treat.
    This is a simple three ingredient recipe that is refrigerated in order to set.

     
    Icebox cake is made with graham crackers. Alternatives to using graham crackers include any of the following;

    • Sugar free graham crackers.
    • Shortbread cookies made with no added sugar.
    • Sugar free digestive biscuits.
    • Vanilla wafers made with no added sugar.
    • Sugar free tea biscuits.
    • Pecan or Almond cookies made with no added sugar.

    Ingredients needed to make Sugar Free Strawberry Icebox Cake

    • Graham Crackers. If you are using an alternative to graham crackers (as listed above), the amount needed may not be the same as the amount of graham crackers used in this recipe.
    • Whipped Topping in a Tub. Sugar free versions of tubbed whipped topping can usually be found in the freezer section at most grocery stores by the regular varieties.
    • Strawberries. Your strawberries should have their stems removed and should also be sliced thin to a similar thickness of one another.
    • Optional- topping or filings such as additional berries, pretzels (for a salt element), or shaved chocolate.

    ย 
    ๐Ÿ‘‰Expert Tip Take this simple recipe up up a notch by adding extra flavor. You can do this by stirring in half a package (with the whipped topping) of sugar free instant pudding mix. If you want that cheesecake flavor, you can whip up softened cream cheese in your mixer and then fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese.
