This Strawberry Shortcake Lasagna is a delightful no-bake dessert that layers whipped cream, vanilla wafers, and fresh sliced strawberries to create a creamy, fruity treat perfect for any occasion. The cool, luscious layers meld together after chilling, making it an easy and impressive dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Layers

  • 1 1/2 boxes Nilla Wafers
  • 1 pound strawberries, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until medium peaks form. This creates a light and fluffy whipped cream base for the lasagna layers.
  2. Assemble the Lasagna: In a 9″x13″ pan, spread a thin layer of the prepared whipped cream. Add a layer of Nilla Wafers over the cream, then spread a thick layer of whipped cream on top of the wafers. Follow by layering the thinly sliced strawberries. Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with a top layer of strawberries. Sprinkle crushed Nilla Wafers over the final strawberry layer for added texture.
  3. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 3 hours or up to overnight. This resting time allows the Nilla Wafers to soften and absorb moisture, melding the flavors and textures together into a creamy dessert.
  4. Serve: Before serving, dust more powdered sugar over the top for a finishing touch. Slice into portions and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries to maximize flavor.
  • You can substitute Nilla Wafers with another light vanilla cookie if preferred.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead, making it perfect for entertaining.
  • Make sure to whip the cream to medium peaks for optimal texture; over-whipping can cause it to turn buttery.
