Introduction
These 4-Ingredient Strawberry Cream Freezer Bars are the perfect no-bake treat for warm defining days when you want something sweet, creamy, and refreshing without turning on the oven. Made with fresh strawberries, fluffy whipped cream, and a simple graham cracker base, they taste like a frozen strawberry shortcake in bar form. They’re easy to prepare, require minimal effort, and are great for parties, family desserts, or make-ahead treats.
Ingredients (Serves 12)
-
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped (or lightly mashed)
-
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
-
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
-
2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 16 full sheets), lightly packed
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving extra hanging over the sides to help lift the bars out later.
Step 2: Make the Crust
Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers evenly into the bottom of the pan. Gently press them down with your fingers or the bottom of a cup to form an even, loose crust.
Step 3: Mix the Strawberry Base
In a medium bowl, stir together the chopped strawberries and sweetened condensed milk until evenly combined and lightly pink.
Step 4: Whip the Cream
In a large cold bowl, beat the heavy cream using a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. The cream should be smooth and fluffy.
Step 5: Combine the Filling
Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix lightly until fully combined without deflating the cream.
Step 6: Assemble the Bars
Spread the strawberry cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7: Freeze
Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until very firm. For best results, freeze overnight.
Step 8: Slice and Serve
Lift the bars out using the paper overhang. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing into 12 bars. Clean the knife between cuts for neat edges.
Conclusion
These Strawberry Cream Freezer Bars are simple, refreshing, and incredibly satisfying. With just four ingredients and no baking required, they’re perfect for summer gatherings, quick desserts, or anytime you want an easy sweet treat. Keep leftovers stored in the freezer, and you’ll always have a cool, creamy snack ready to enjoy.
