Strawberries + Cream Day! Strawberry Icebox Cake Recipe /// Lazy Cooking

Happy Strawberries and Cream Day! I didn't know that was a thing, but apparently it is and apparently it's today. So, I thought I'd share with you one of the easiest and pretty damn tasty desserts you will ever make. Enjoy!

The recipe actually calls for a lot more work than I put into it (like making your own cream filling and chocolate sauce–psssh, yeah right, like I’m going to do that). I’ll post the original recipe from The Kitchn though for any of you who aren’t as lazy as I am: No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake.

For my version you only need 4 things:

  • Graham Crackers
  • Strawberries
  • Cool Whip
  • Chocolate Syrup (optional)

Now, time to put it all together:

First, wash and cut your strawberries into thin slices.

Next, start your first layer of graham crackers (don’t worry, I filled in the gaps).

Then, put on a layer of cool whip.

A layer of strawberries, then repeat till finished! Now, you can top it with chocolate sauce. I didn't have any when I made it this time, so I left it off.

Then comes the final step, which is the hardest. You have to let it chill in the fridge for at least FOUR HOURS. I know. But trust me, it's worth it!

Oreo Icebox Cake

Tomorrow is National Oreo Day! I did not know that before yesterday, but I figured hey! I got a killer, easy Oreo dessert, why not share it with you all for an unplanned Lazy Cooking post?

Now, I didn't come up with this recipe. You can find the original at Cookies and Cups.

Ingredients:

  • Milk
  • Oreos
  • Cool Whip

Step One: Dip the Oreos in milk. Just a quick dip!

Step Two: Lay the Oreos in your dish.

Step Three: Now, put a layer of Cool Whip over the Oreos. Repeat these steps till you reach the top of your dish.

Step Four: Take the broken bits of cookies that were left over and crumbled them over the top.

You’ll need to let this sit in the fridge for at least 6 hours! We left ours over night. Y’all. If you love Oreos and milk, this is THE DESSERT for you. Enjoy!
