It’s summertime! Berry season! And I’m continuing my series with Albert Lee Appliance featuring Electrolux!

I made a quick and delicious icebox cake to beat the heat and keep the oven off, and you’re gonna want to bookmark this one! One of my favorite features of the Electrolux refrigerator is that its LuxCool Cooling System moves cold air throughout the fridge to maintain optimal freshness in your food! Another great feature are the TasteLock Plus Crispers with Auto-Humidity Control. Produce can spoil so quickly, especially during warm summer months, but the Crispers remove excess moisture and block out dry air to prevent shriveling and shrinking, plus an ethylene absorber reduces the gas emitted by many fruits and vegetables that causes spoiling. 

Groceries are mega-expensive these days. Let Electrolux work on your behalf to drive down those food costs and protect your family’s perishables!

Oh – and enjoy your Strawberry Icebox Cake! Your loved ones will love it!

  1. In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, or the work bowl of your food processor, whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
  2. Slowly add whipping cream 1 cup at a time and scrape down the sides of the bowl to avoid lumps. Add salt, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  3. Whip cream to achieve medium peaks and a texture that does not fold back onto itself.
  4. Next, line the bottom of your pan with graham crackers. Break them to fit along edges if necessary.
  5. Spread a third of the whipped cream mixture over the crackers, then repeat 2 more times, ending with cream.
  6. Cover and chill 6 hours. Overnight is best.
  7. When ready to serve, top with sliced strawberries or any fresh berries you have on hand! Enjoy!
