Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the pan by lining a 9x9 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 cups of Cool Whip with 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Fold until well mixed.
  3. Spread a thin layer of lemon cream evenly across the bottom of the lined pan.
  4. Arrange 25 Lorna Doone cookies on top of the lemon cream, pressing them slightly to create an even layer.
  5. Spread approximately 2 cups of lemon cream over the cookies, then layer sliced strawberries evenly on top.
  6. Repeat the layering process to build up the cake with cookies, cream, and strawberries until you have three layers.
  7. Finish with a final layer of lemon cream on top of the strawberries.
  8. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
  9. When ready to serve, remove the cake from the fridge and garnish with remaining lemon cream, strawberry slices, or lemon curls.
