Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tub whipped topping (Large tub, 16 oz)
- 12 Graham Crackers
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the base layer: Spread a layer of whipped topping about 1/2 inch thick evenly across the bottom of your baking dish to create the creamy foundation for your cake.
- Add Graham Crackers: Place a layer of graham crackers on top of the whipped topping, covering it as much as possible. You may break the crackers into smaller pieces to fit the dish perfectly.
- Spread whipped topping again: Add another layer of whipped topping over the graham crackers, smoothing it out evenly.
- Layer sliced strawberries: Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the whipped topping for a burst of fresh fruity flavor.
- Repeat layers: Continue layering whipped topping, graham crackers, whipped topping, and strawberries until the baking dish is filled, about three rounds in total.
- Chill: Cover the assembled cake with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until the cake has set and the graham crackers soften to a cake-like texture.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh ripe strawberries.
- You can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits if desired.
- If you prefer a sweeter dessert, sprinkle a little sugar on the strawberries before layering.
- The cake is best served chilled to maintain its structure and flavor.
- This recipe is easily doubled or halved depending on serving needs.
