‘February staple’: Just 4 ingredients. This one’s fully memorized at this point.
These 4-Ingredient Strawberry Cream Freezer Bars are the ultimate “no-churn” summer treat. They have the luxurious, velvety texture of high-end ice cream thanks to the combination of whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk, which prevents ice crystals from forming. The “rustic” graham cracker crust provides a salty-sweet crunch that perfectly anchors the airy strawberry clouds.

Strawberry Cream Freezer Bars

How To Make Strawberry Cream Freezer Bars:
Step 1: Prep the Pan: Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Leave a little “overhang” on the sides; these will act as handles so you can lift the entire block out once it’s frozen.

Step 2: The Rustic Base: Pour the crushed graham crackers into the bottom of the pan. Press them down gently with your fingers or a flat cup to create a base.

Tip: Because there is no melted butter in this crust, it stays a bit loose and crumbly—this is intentional! It keeps the bars light and prevents the base from becoming a “brick” in the freezer.
Step 3: Strawberry Milk: In a medium bowl, stir together the finely chopped strawberries and the sweetened condensed milk. The acidity of the berries will start to react with the milk, creating a beautiful pink hue.
Step 4: Whip the Cream: In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft, billowy peaks form. You want it to hold its shape when you lift the whisk, but it should still look like clouds, not butter.
Step 5: The Fold: Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Use slow, sweeping motions so you don’t deflate the air you just whipped into the cream.
Step 6: Freeze: Pour the mixture over the graham crackers and smooth the top. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours (overnight is best).
Step 7: Slice and Serve: Lift the bars out using your parchment “handles.” Let them sit on the counter for 5/10 minutes before slicing. This short temper period makes them much easier to bite into!
