Description

Delight in these easy-to-make 4-Ingredient Strawberry Cream Freezer Bars, featuring a crisp graham cracker crust layered with a luscious strawberry and sweetened condensed milk cream. Perfectly chilled, these no-bake bars are light, creamy, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor, making them an ideal refreshing treat for warm days or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 16 full sheets), lightly packed

Filling

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped or lightly mashed
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two sides to help lift the bars out later.
  2. Make the crust: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers evenly into the bottom of the pan. Press gently with your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup to form an even, loose, rustic-style layer.
  3. Mix strawberries and condensed milk: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped or lightly mashed strawberries with the sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the mixture turns a soft pink and the berries are well distributed.
  4. Whip the cream: In a large, cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed using a hand or stand mixer until it forms soft, billowy peaks that hold shape but remain smooth and silky.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the strawberry-condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream with a spatula, using a light hand and turning the bowl until just combined with no large streaks remaining.
  6. Assemble bars: Pour the strawberry cream mixture over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. Freeze: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  8. Serve: Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment or foil overhang. Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly. Cut into 12 bars (or smaller squares), wiping the knife with a warm, damp cloth between cuts for clean edges.
  9. Store: Serve immediately and keep leftovers frozen, covered well to prevent freezer odors.

Notes

  • For easier cutting, allow the bars to soften slightly at room temperature before slicing.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the heavy cream and mixing bowl are cold to achieve optimal whipping results.
  • Leftover bars can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week.
  • Wiping the knife between cuts helps keep the slices neat and prevents sticking.
