Icebox cakes not only look wonderful, but they are also easy to make and don’t require any baking. The basic principle is creating your own ice cream using thick cream, sugar and whatever else you want to add. You then stack the ice cream between wafers of some variety and stack them into a cake shape. Freeze the whole thing and hey presto, you have an icebox cake. Here are some ideas on how to make your icebox cakes even more delicious and visually spectacular.
Black Forrest
When making up your ice cream, add dark chocolate shavings and small chunks of cherry. When you’re cake is frozen, add whipped cream and a cherry on top. Perfect.
Caramel Coffee
Mix an expresso in with your cream for a coffee-flavored treat. Drizzle caramel on top to finish and even Starbucks will be jealous of your creation.
S’mores
Who doesn’t love a s’more? Not only are they nostalgic; they are also delicious. Mix in chocolate and marshmallows with your mix and divide each layer with a chunkier biscuit. Add toasted marshmallows on top for the authentic camping flavor.
Banana Split
Wafers, ice cream, banana, and chocolate. If that isn’t a winning combination, we don’t know what is.
Mint Oreo
You can use anything you want to divide each layer of ice cream, so why not Oreos? For an even more summery flavor, add mint to your ice cream and sprinkle the herb on top with extra chocolate and crumbled Oreo. Yum.
