Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Icebox Cake
  1. Begin by rinsing the strawberries under cool water, pat them dry, and slice them evenly.
  2. Take an 11x6-inch loaf pan and line it with aluminum foil or cling film.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, mascarpone, and powdered sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Spread a quarter of the whipped cream in the loaf pan, layer graham crackers, then one-third of the strawberries. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
  5. Cover the pan tightly and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. For easier slicing, place the cake in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving. Invert onto a serving plate.
