INSTRUCTIONS 

  • *Each Cool Whip layer uses one whole tub (besides the first thin layer).
  • *Each strawberry layer uses about 1 lb of sliced strawberries.
  • *If you are using homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip you will use 3-3 ½ cups per layer that calls for Cool Whip.
  • To make homemade whipped cream (if desired) beat heavy cream to stiff peaks. Beat in confectioner’s sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  • Spread a thin layer of cool whip in a 9×13 pan just to coat the bottom. Layer 5 graham crackers across the center of pan then 2 more breaking them as needed to fit around the top and bottom edges. Spread a thick layer of cool whip (just use the remaining cool whip from the first step) over grahams and top with a hearty layer of sliced strawberries. Place graham crackers on top of strawberries then cool whip then strawberries. Repeat the layers 1 more time (3 times total) and you should reach the top of the pan. I used 3 layers of each + the first thin layer of cool whip. You will finish with a layer of sliced strawberries.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the graham crackers have softened completely. Serve chilled.
