 It's strawberry flavour inwards my cervix of the woods!  And I'm real excited nearly it.

I absolutely love fresh strawberries, lead from the field.  I'm thus fortunate that my hubby passes past times a local farm stand upward every solar daytime on his agency habitation from work.  So what did I practise alongside my starting fourth dimension delivery from my sugariness hubby this past times week?  Whipped upward this delicious No-Bake Strawberry Ice Box Cake.

As shortly every bit I came across this recipe, I knew it was correct upward my alley.  Creamy.  Fresh strawberries.  Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 impact of chocolate.  Yes, please!

I'm happy to written report it was a fabulous choice for my starting fourth dimension strawberries of the season.

The flavor of fresh strawberries shine inwards this slow creamy no-bake dessert.  Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 drizzle of chocolate ganache puts this tasty dessert over the top!

The method to brand this icebox cake is real like to the No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Dessert I posted a piffling chip back.

Except, this no-bake cake uses existent whipped cream laced alongside a impact of almond extract (soooooo good!) instead of Cool Whip betwixt the graham cracker layers.  I love Cool Whip, don't larn me incorrect ... but I actually demand to whip upward the existent materials to a greater extent than often.  Real whipped cream is such a piffling seize alongside teeth of sugariness process heaven!

So to brand this tasty layered dessert, whip upward some whipped cream.  Then layer it alongside graham crackers as well as sliced fresh strawberries.

You'll terminate upward making 3 graham cracker layers, which shape the construction of the icebox cake.

Once the graham crackers, whipped cream, as well as strawberry layers are done, brand a actually elementary chocolate ganache.

Place some chopped dark chocolate {I used Dove dark chocolate} inwards a small-scale bowl, as well as pour a piffling chip of warmed whipping cream over the top of it ...

Let the warm cream melt the chocolate as well as thus whisk it until it's smooth.

Then drizzle the ganache all over the top of the cake.

Refrigerate the cake over nighttime to allow the flavors to meld as well as to allow the graham crackers become squeamish as well as soft.  It may hold upward tempting to skip the "refrigerate over nighttime step," but believe me ... the creamy effect is worth the wait.

Once everything's melded together over night, cutting yourself a large piece to enjoy.  No ... cutting yourself a huge piece.  With it's delicious strawberry as well as chocolate flavor, as well as it's comforting creaminess, you'll hold upward thus glad yous did.

Now, a banking concern annotation to my blogging friends.  {And only a manifestly onetime funny banking concern annotation for my non-blogging readers.}

If yous brand this as well as spill out to desire to photograph it, recall to relieve a dyad of your most gorgeous strawberries to garnish your photograph shoot plates. 

If, past times chance, yous spill out to forget to relieve whatsoever strawberries as well as create upward one's heed to halt at a vacant lot on your drive home from locomote to "borrow" a few flowers ... yous know, so you'll bring something crimson for the side of your photograph shoot plate .... brand certain non to stand upward inwards a forcefulness out emmet colina piece picking said flowers.  Especially piece wearing flip-flops.

If, past times chance, yous spill out to accidentally stand upward inwards a forcefulness out emmet colina piece "borrowing" flowers as well as wearing flip-flops, attempt to refrain from eating all 3 pieces of this yous cutting for the photograph shoot to assist drown out the forcefulness out emmet "fire" burning inwards your swollen toes.

It may hold upward tempting to skip the "refrigerate over nighttime step," but believe me ... the creamy effect is worth the wait.

Then, if past times chance, yous spill out to create upward one's heed to identify a handbag of frozen vegetables on your burning swollen toes every bit an H2O ice handbag to assist soothe the forcefulness out emmet "fire," brand certain the handbag of frozen vegetables doesn't bring a hole inwards it.

Because if the handbag of frozen vegetables does have a hole inwards it, every bit the vegetables within thaw you'll terminate alongside greenish asparagus-water seeping out onto your rug leaving a lovely pea-greenish stain.  Which you'll terminate upward spending some fourth dimension the side past times side solar daytime steam-cleaning out.

You know, non that whatsoever of this happened or anything.

I'm only sayin' ... be certain to relieve out a dyad of your most gorgeous strawberries to garnish your plates.

Thank yous for stopping past times .  We'd love to bring yous dorsum soon!
