You only need a few ingredients and a few minutes to throw together this strawberry icebox cake! I even have some hacks to where you'll only need 3 ingredients.. They're absolutely to die for and couldn't be easier - perfect for summer, get togethers, or when you just want a quick and easy, healthier treat! It's vegan and paleo, too!
2boxesSimple Mills Toasted Pecan Cookies*or any graham cracker/cookies of your choice
3cupsVegan Coconut whip *Store-bought or homemade
1pintfresh strawberriessliced thin
For homemade coconut whip
13.5 oz full-fat coconut milk, chilled
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Grab a 8x8 baking dish. Add a layer of the coconut whip to the bottom of the pan.
Add a layer of cookies to the bottom of the pan, covering it the best you can. You can break one into smaller pieces to fill in any gaps.
Add another thick layer of the coconut whip over the cookies, being sure to entirely cover them. Add a layer of sliced strawberries. Continue layering as follows - coconut whip, cookies, coconut whip, strawberries, coconut whip, cookies, coconut whip, strawberries. I usually do two layers of each the cookies and strawberries, depending on the size of my pan.
Finish with a layer of coconut whip over top.
I save a few cookies to crinkle on top for the crumb effect. You can top it with halved strawberries, too.
Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 6 hours - overnight. Then serve and enjoy!
Note - icebox cakes are meant to be messier, so when you serve them they may look more like a pile of cake rather than perfect layers. That's the best part!
