Thank goodness, I had this easy mocha icebox cake recipe in my back pocket. All five of us loved it\u2014even the mocha-wary hubby!<\/p>\n Icebox cakes were all the rage back in the \u201920s and \u201930s. Some smart soul figured out that whipped cream layered with very thin cookies would transform into a marvelous dessert if left in the fridge overnight! So easy. Here are a few tips for making a perfect icebox cake!<\/p>\n An Icebox or Refrigerator Cake is a no-bake dessert made by layering cookies, cream, sweetened condensed milk, and\/or fruit and letting it refrigerate overnight so that the moisture of the other ingredients softens the cookies.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Icebox is an old-fashioned word for refrigerator. Instead of baking, this \u201ccake\u201d needs to rest in the refrigerator overnight before serving, thus the name.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n There must be thin cookies or graham crackers and sweetened or unsweetened whipped cream. Other additions including sliced fruit, dried coconut, cocoa powder, extracts, and nuts are optional.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n As long as it\u2019s kept in the refrigerator when you\u2019re not dishing out slices, it will be good for 2-3 days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n In a month or two, my kitchen will be out of commission for many weeks while we do an extensive remodel of our house. Currently, I\u2019m without a garage or laundry room. And I think that<\/em> is roughing it!!! I will be making lots of no-bake desserts when my oven disappears!<\/p>\n Stay in touch through social media\u00a0@\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, and\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>.
