FRESH RASPBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Layered icebox cakes are so fun because they look impressive but couldn't be easier. Fresh raspberries make this one really special. Use Anna's Ginger Thins to get the scalloped edges, or regular gingersnaps if those are not available. -Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, Utah

RASPBERRY LEMON ICEBOX CAKE



Raspberry Lemon Icebox Cake image

Icebox cake is already easy, but this one is the easiest! Lemony whipped cream and fresh raspberries layered with graham crackers and chilled until perfect - it's the quintessential no-bake summer dessert.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups heavy whipping cream (very cold)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest + 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 2 medium lemons)
3 sleeves graham crackers (8 double crackers each)
1 pound fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Add whipping cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or add to a large bowl and use the whisk attachments on a hand blender. Or whisk by hand, if you're feeling up to it! Whip cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and lemon juice and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Don't whip until very stiff; it makes the cake too difficult to assemble! With a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the lemon zest.
  • Smear a little whipped cream on the bottom of a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. This will help to hold the first layer of graham crackers in place. Lay a single layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking a few apart if necessary to make them fit. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the graham crackers and smooth. Top with 1/3 of the raspberries - if they're large ones, I like to break them in half first. Top with another layer of graham crackers, another 1/3 of the whipped cream, and another 1/3 of the raspberries. Then add the remaining graham crackers and spread on the last of the whipped cream. Top decoratively with remaining raspberries.
  • Carefully cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 36 hours.
  • Remove from fridge, cut into squares, and serve.

2 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, and preferably overnight. When ready to serve, lift the cake out of the pan and cut into slices.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest raspberries you can find for the best flavor and texture.

  • Garnish with Raspberries: Before serving, garnish the icebox cake with fresh raspberries for a pop of color and flavor.
