Your Memorial Day gathering wouldn’t be complete without a red, white, and blue dessert! Looking for the perfect recipe? Try this easy, refreshing Berry Icebox Cake and ring in the unofficial start of summer the right way.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
• 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
• 20–21 full-sheet graham crackers
• 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Optional for garnish – additional berries and/or star sprinkles

Instructions:

• Preliminary notes: There are 3 layers of graham crackers, 3 layers of whipped cream, and 2 layers of berries (plus any you use for topping). Each layer of graham crackers is about 7 graham crackers (you can break some up to fit). This recipe yields 6 cups of whipped cream, and you will use 2 cups per layer.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and almond extract together on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 4 minutes.
• Spread a couple tablespoons into a very thin layer on the bottom of an ungreased 9×13-inch pan. This will help the bottom layer of graham crackers stick.
• Layer graham crackers on top, breaking them apart as needed to make 1 even layer.
• Spread about 2 cups of whipped cream on top of the graham crackers. Then layer the sliced strawberries on top.
• Follow with another layer of graham crackers, 2 more cups of whipped cream, then the blueberries.
• Top with a final layer of graham crackers, followed by a final layer of whipped cream.
• Cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, and up to 48 hours before serving.
• Garnish with additional berries and/or star sprinkles. Cut into slices and serve cold.
