Another Good Housekeeping recipe...
I have never made an icebox cake but I am going to try these soon......
STRAWBERRY ICEBOX CAKE
1 1/2 pint(s) strawberries
1 1/2 cup(s) heavy cream, whipping cream
3 tablespoon(s) confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
2 tablespoon(s) strawberry preserves
35 (about one 9-ounce package) chocolate wafer cookies
Hull and thinly slice 1 pint strawberries; reserve rest for garnish.
In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spoon 2 cups whipped cream into another bowl; cover and refrigerate.
With rubber spatula, gently fold sliced strawberries and preserves into remaining whipped cream.
On 1 side of each of 6 cookies, spread about 1 heaping tablespoon strawberry cream. Stack cookies on top of one another. Top stack with a plain cookie.
Repeat stacking cookies with strawberry cream until all cookies and cream are used, making 5 stacks of 7 cookies each.
Turn each stack on its side. Place stacks, one behind the other, with rounded edges touching, to form a log on platter.
Frost log with reserved whipped cream; cover and refrigerate cake at least 5 hours or overnight to allow cookies to soften.
To serve, hull reserved strawberries; cut each into quarters. Garnish platter with strawberries.
