3 hrsNo oven, no mixer stress, no fancy skills required. This is the kind of dessert you throw together on a Tuesday afternoon with stuff you probably already have in the kitchen.
Graham cracker squares get layered with thick, sweetened whipped cream and stacked into a rectangular cake. As it chills in the fridge for a few hours, the cream soaks into the crackers and softens them into something that genuinely tastes like cake layers.
Top the whole thing with sprinkles and you’ve got a party-ready dessert that cost almost nothing and took less effort than making a salad.
Kitchen Tips
- Spread the cream generously between layers; it’s what softens the crackers into that cake-like texture
- Chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight for the softest, most cake-like result
- Use a can of whipped cream in a pinch, but hand-whipped cream holds up much better overnight
- Let the kids do the stacking; this is a perfect first “baking” project since there’s nothing hot to worry about
Ingredients
Directions
Beat cream with sweetener until stiff.
Spread whipped cream heavily on one square and place it on a platter.
Spread cream heavily on a second square and place it on top of the first.
Continue until there is a stack of 4 squares.
Press down gently on the top square so the cream squeezes out of the sides.
Spread the excess along the sides.
Repeat the procedure until there are eight stacks.
Slide them together until sides touch to form a rectangular cake of 2 squares by 4 squares.
Use extra whipped cream to smooth over all the tops.
Refrigerate.
Allowing it to chill several hours before serving enables the crackers to soften.
A dash of sprinkles over the top adds a party flavor without adding much additional sugar.
Hint: Use a pressurized can of whipped cream if you don’t have the time or inclination to whip the cream.
