Easy Berry Icebox Cake is a no-bake summer dessert that layers whipped cream, graham crackers, and fresh berries. Chilled to perfection, it delivers a creamy, fruity, and refreshing treat with minimal effort—perfect for warm-weather gatherings.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

3 cups (720 ml) cold heavy whipping cream

1/3 cup (40 g) confectioners’ sugar

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract

2021 full-sheet graham crackers

2 cups (380 g) sliced fresh strawberries

1 cup (140 g) fresh blueberries

Optional: extra berries and star sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make whipped cream: Beat heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and almond extract with a mixer until medium peaks form, about 4 minutes.
  2. Layer the base: Spread a thin layer of whipped cream in a 9×13-inch pan to help the crackers stick.
  3. Assemble layers: Add a layer of graham crackers, spread ~2 cups whipped cream, then layer strawberries. Repeat with crackers, ~2 cups whipped cream, and blueberries. Finish with a final graham cracker layer topped with whipped cream.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (up to 48 hours).
  5. Garnish & serve: Top with extra berries and sprinkles, slice with a narrow spatula, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use fresh berries only—frozen berries release too much liquid.
  • Chocolate graham crackers or Biscoff cookies make tasty swaps.
  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for fluffier whipped cream.
  • Best served within 3–4 days before crackers become too soft.
  • Halve the recipe for smaller gatherings using a smaller pan.
