Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for strawberries)

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 box (12 oz) of graham crackers

Optional: Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar. Gently toss to coat the strawberries and let them sit for about 15-20 minutes until they release their juices.

    Make the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until it starts to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip!

      Assemble the Cake: In a rectangular or square dish, spread a thin layer of whipped cream at the bottom. Place a layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking them as needed to fit.

        Layer the Ingredients: Spoon a layer of the sugared strawberries over the graham crackers, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layering process (graham crackers, strawberries, whipped cream) until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of whipped cream on top.

          Chill the Cake: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften and meld with the flavors of the strawberries and cream.

            Serve: Before serving, garnish the top with additional strawberries and mint leaves if desired. Slice and enjoy the refreshing layers of Strawberry Delight Icebox Cake!
