- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Add the confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract. Whip again briefly to combine.
- On a platter or in a baking pan, spread a small amount of the whipped cream. Begin layering starting with the graham crackers, then a layer of strawberries, and a layer of whipped cream.
- Continue layering until you have four layers . End with a layer of whipped cream.
- Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the graham crackers and cookies have softened.

Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. This cake is easiest to store in a rigid container rather than wrapping with plastic.
- To freeze - assemble the cake on a freezer-safe baking pan or dish. Place the cake and pan, uncovered, in the freezer for 24 hours. Remove the frozen cake from the pan and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Place the wrapped cake in a sturdy container and freeze for up to 3 months.
