‘The lazy layered treat’: Just 3 ingredients. My kids beg me to make this every single weekend.

For picky eaters who aren’t big on fruit chunks, you can chop the strawberries very small or mash half of them with a fork before layering, so the texture is smoother. If your kids like things extra sweet, sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the sliced strawberries before layering to bring out more juice and sweetness. For a slightly lighter version, choose a light or sugar-free whipped topping and whole-grain graham crackers. You can also make mini icebox cakes in individual glass containers or small jars so each child gets their own little dish—this is a fun option for birthday parties or sleepovers. If someone in your family doesn’t like strawberries, swap them for another berry like blueberries or raspberries, or use very thinly sliced bananas (just layer quickly so they don’t brown). For a firmer sliceable cake, freeze the assembled dessert for 1–2 hours, then move it to the fridge until serving time. And if you want it to look extra special for company, save a few of the nicest strawberry slices to fan out on top right before serving.
