Ingredients
- 3 cups strawberries chopped
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- One (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers
- sliced strawberries for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl using a potato masher until very juicy and just slightly chunky. Don't have a masher? Pulse the berries in a food processor, but be mindful not to overprocess.
- Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl using a whisk or a handheld mixer until the cream starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Dump in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks, about 1 minute more.
- Gently fold the strawberry slush into the cream.
- Grab an offset spatula or a spoon, and spread a layer of strawberry cream on the bottom of the dish. Top the cream with a layer of vanilla wafers, fitting them as closely together as possible.
- Continue alternating layers of strawberry cream and wafters, ending with a luscious layer of cream. Swirl and swoop the top decoratively. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, scoop the cake onto plates and finish with sliced strawberries.
Notes
- Chill your bowl and mixers--Chilling your bowl and mixer attachments will help your cream whip up quickly.
- Storage--The cake will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in plastic. Freeze for longer storage.
- Use different cookies--If you're not a fan of Nilla wafers, you can use graham crackers, Biscoff cookies, ladyfingers, even Oreo cookies. Thicker cookies will take longer to soften.
