    What is Icebox Cake?

    The icebox cake came about in the 1930's when iceboxes were being promoted in the United States as a new kitchen appliance. Icebox cakes are made a lot like a trifle. Layers of cookie are layered between beds of whipped cream, but the cookies are allowed to soften so they become more cake like in taste and texture.

    Ingredients

    Icebox cakes only require just a few ingredients:

    • Cookies: Our recipe uses gluten free graham crackers
    • Whipped Cream: Dairy free whipping cream is layered between each cracker.
    • Apples: Simply top your whipped cream and graham crackers with some homemade or storebought apple pie filling.
    • Cinnamon: Drizzle a little bit of cinnamon on top.

    Storing an Icebox Cake

    Once you've layered and prepped the cake, it will need to store for 10-12 hours to allow the cookies to soften. Icebox cakes usually last around 2-3 days. Icebox cakes also freeze well but most of the time icebox cakes are only refrigerated.
