How to Make Strawberry Icebox Cake

  1. In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package of strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water until completely dissolved. Ensure the water is boiling to properly melt the gelatin.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of mini marshmallows until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Let the mixture stand until it begins to thicken, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping and 2 cups of thawed sliced strawberries.
  6. Line the bottom of an oblong 9x13 inch cake pan with 20-24 crushed vanilla wafers.
  7. Pour half of the strawberry mixture over the wafers.
  8. Add another layer of 20-24 crushed vanilla wafers on top of the strawberry mixture.
  9. Pour the remaining strawberry mixture over the second layer of wafers, finishing with a final layer of 20-24 crushed vanilla wafers.
  10. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set completely.
  11. Serve chilled and enjoy!
