Ingredients:

• 1 pound of fresh strawberries, hulled and cut into bite-sized pieces
• ¼ cup of granulated sugar
• 2 cups of heavy cream
• 1 tbsp of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• 8-10 graham crackers
• 2 tbsp of vanilla pudding mix

Directions:

Step 1

Reserve a handful of strawberries for later and set them aside, then place the remaining in a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle the sugar over them. Give them a good stir to combine, then set them aside. In a separate mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, then beat it over high speed until you start to see a trail of the mixer through the cream, add the vanilla extract and ¼ cup of powdered sugar, and continue to beat them together until incorporated and stiff peaks form, set it aside.

Step 2

Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap with excess hanging on the sides, then put 1/3 of the whipped cream at the bottom spreading it evenly, then add half of the sugared strawberries on top nicely, and top them with a layer of graham crackers. Repeat the layers again, then pull the excess plastic on the sides, and wrap it over the top until nicely covered. Place it in the refrigerator and allow it to freeze for about 3 to 4 hours.

Step 3

While waiting for the cake to freeze, add the remaining powdered sugar and pudding mix to the remaining whipped cream, then whip them together until well combined and incorporated, and place it in the refrigerator until ready to use. Once the cake is done freezing, remove the plastic wrap, then unmold it upside down on a serving plate, and peel off the plastic completely. Using the whipped cream icing, cover the whole cake nicely, then add the reserved strawberries on top, and put it back in the fridge to freeze until ready to serve. Slice the cake with a warm knife, then serve, and enjoy!
