Smores icebox cake is a no-bake dessert with three layers of whipped cream, marshmallows and Fluff, graham crackers, delicious strawberries, and rich chocolate ganache. Great for a summer party, and you can even use homemade whipped cream for Cool Whip to make it even faster!

So, this cake. I gave you a sneak look on my Instagram Stories a few weeks ago, and I was inundated with comments about how they wanted to eat their phone and pretend it was the cake (don’t do that) and beg for the recipe.

Finally, you no longer have to contemplate using your phone as a food source since the recipe for strawberry smores icebox cake has come!

Let’s speak about all the great features of this bad guy. And when I say “excellent things,” I don’t mean “healthy food.” I just want to make sure I’m on the same page. This is a delectable, rich dessert that is laden with all kinds of stuff the doctor would advise you to avoid, and that is what makes it so delicious.

He could be good with the strawberries, but we’re going to sandwich them between whipped cream, marshmallow fluff, chocolate, and graham crackers, so he’s definitely out.

No one was surprised when I used my favorite mascarpone whipped cream as the foundation for the marshmallow Fluff layer.

or components. Although I strongly suggest it, you may save time and money by using readymade whipped cream or Cool Whip.

Fluff and micro marshmallows will be added to the batter to make a rich and fluffy filling.

The nicest thing about this dish is how simple it is. It should be simple enough to create with your children.

Making the chocolate ganache requires a heating element since you need to warm the cream that will be poured over the chocolate, so save that step for yourself and outsource the rest to the young ragamuffins.

The most enjoyable part is putting it all together!

To be honest, you don’t even have to make the layers in the sequence I specify in the recipe, so have fun with it.

Just keep in mind that this will all fit just over the top of an 8×8 baking dish (a 9×9 baking dish would work better, but I didn’t have one), so don’t double up on any of the ingredients or you’ll have a large mess on your hands.

You must wait as much as you want to dig in as soon as you finish building it. I guarantee it will be worthwhile.

It has to chill for four hours so that everything melds together and the graham crackers become soft and flavorful.

And the chocolate with the strawberries is out of this world. My friends, chocolate-covered strawberries are a thing for a reason.

To be quite honest, I didn’t wait four hours before taking these photos since I was running out of daylight and meant to carry it to work with me the following morning.

So it’s a bit less soft than it would be in reality.

It is probable that you will not obtain properly cut portions of this cake; it might be a shambles, and you must just accept it. It won’t matter since it’s so wonderful, so just scoop it out and throw it in a dish.

This is a good opportunity to underline that appearances don’t matter.

Thus, if yours is a steaming mess, let it alone.

But don’t let it grow so bad that a cat chooses to eat it because you thought it was safe to leave it on a ledge for a second to snap a photo before the light went out:

SIGH.

Since it has to set in the fridge to become the magnificent marvel that it is, this is the ideal dessert to prepare ahead of time and bring to a summer party.

You may also cook it on a Monday night and bring it to work on Tuesday. There are no rules in this game. This is a no-rules zone.

Now go create this strawberry smores icebox cake and become everyone’s new favorite person.
