Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake
- 8 Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Dessert Bars
- 3 cups whipped topping
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
For the Topping
- Extra sliced strawberries, for garnish
- 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure to leave about a 2-inch overhang on each side to help remove the cake later.
- Layer First Bars: Remove the popsicle sticks from the frozen strawberry shortcake bars. Place four bars in the bottom of the prepared pan to form the first layer.
- Add Topping and Strawberries: Spread half of the whipped topping evenly over the bars, then add a layer of sliced strawberries on top.
- Layer Second Bars: Place the remaining four bars over the strawberry and whipped topping layer.
- Top with Remaining Whipped Topping: Spread the rest of the whipped topping over the top layer of bars.
- Freeze to Set: Fold the plastic wrap overhang to cover the top and place the pan in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until the cake is solid.
- Unmold and Garnish: When ready to serve, use the plastic wrap overhang to lift the cake out of the pan. Top the cake with additional sliced strawberries and sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers.
- Serve: Slice the icebox cake and serve immediately for a deliciously cool treat.
Notes
- This dessert works best if kept frozen until ready to serve to maintain its shape.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute whipped topping with coconut whipped cream.
- Make sure to remove the popsicle sticks completely before assembling the cake to avoid any inconvenience when slicing.
- Crushing the vanilla wafers fresh ensures a better crunchy texture on top.
- The cake can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 days for best texture and flavor.
