Ingredients
- Chocolate Wafer Cookies (such as Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies)
- 1 pound Strawberries – hulled
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 envelope plain gelatin (from a 1 oz. box)
- 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
- 1 and 1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Directions
1
Place parchment paper on the bottom of 8×4 loaf pan, making sure you have an overhang of paper on the sides.
2
Place strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract in a food processor or high powered blender and pulse until smooth
3
Using a small saucepan on the stove, heat 1/4 cup of the strawberry mixture on low. Add gelatin and let sit for three minutes, stirring occasionally until dissolved and mixture thickens.
4
Transfer gelatin mixture back to food processor and pulse to onlinebine.
5
Beat the whipping cream and yogurt with an electric mixer until peaks form and then fold into the strawberry mixture.
6
Place cookies along the sides and bottom of pan. You should be able to fit three on each longer side, three on the bottom, and one on each shorter side.
7
Pour all the mixture into the pan. Fill in the middle with three rows of cookies standing up.
8
Cover and freeze for about 8 hours or longer up to 2 days.
9
When ready to serve, turn cake upside down on a plate or cutting board and take out of pan. Remove paper and slice crosswise. Serves 10-12.
Hip Tip: If cake is hard to get out of pan, just let it melt for a few minutes. In my opinion, it’s actually better slightly melty 🙂
This cake tastes like homemade strawberry ice cream and chocolate cake!! What a beautiful and tasty dessert to make ahead of time and take to a BBQ or to serve at a summer birthday. My family really enjoys this case and I am sure your family will as well!
