Icebox Cake.
Have y’all had it? Oh my goodness, it’s delicious and EASY! I first had it a few years ago in Tallahassee, FL with one of my most precious friends. Before that, I had never had anything remotely close to it.
You see, those little crispy wafers absorb that heavy whipped cream and take on the most delightful spongey consistency in a matter of hours. The only comparison I can make is Nilla wafers tucked in banana pudding.
While the ole Icebox Cake doesn’t have the most attractive presentation, I can assure you the taste is out of this WORLD. And although, I did find this version a tad more appealing, I have to question whether the wafers were able to reach their full “spongey” potential without being completely covered with whipped cream.
As stated in the Washington Post, the hardest part will be finding the Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. Surprisingly I found mine at the local Walmart {cookie aisle}. I know for a fact that Publix has them, at least the Tallahassee Publix stores carried them…. but not with the cookies, they’re at the end of the ice cream aisle where you find other ice cream condiments {you know, cones, sprinkles, hot fudge, etc}.
Here’s what you do…
First, whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream with 1 tsp of vanilla and 2 to 3 tablespoons {or more if you like} of sugar until stiff. I’ve found heavy cream to whip better in a cold stainless steel bowl {so stick your bowl in the freezer for a few minutes beforehand} and if you have a big Kitchenaid mixer you oughta put her to work on this one.
Second, be sure to let your children lick the beaters.
Third, spread whipped cream evenly between wafers to form a long “log” of black wafers and white whipped cream.
Fourth, spread whipped cream all around the outside of your “log”.
Fifth, sprinkle with shaved chocolate
Refrigerate overnight or for at least several hours. The longer it sits really the better it gets {kinda like those Nilla wafers in banana pudding}.
Slice, serve, and watch out… it’s dangerously delicious!!
In the picture above I used one box of cookies to make 2 cakes… 1 box will make a really good size Icebox Cake {you could even put 2 rows side by side and cover the entire thing with whipped cream… it would certainly be easier to store in the frige that way. A half a box will easily serve 4-6 and the entire box will easily serve 8-12. To be safe… I whipped 3 cups of heavy whipping cream… having extra homemade whipped cream around never hurt anyone, did it?

February 4, 2009 at 7:27 amSounds yummy – I’m such a fan of homemade whipped cream – we even sub it for milk on our cereal at my house sometimes – it helps add calories to Wilson’s diet and mine (not that I need any)! And from what I can see of Paige’s hair – it is too cute!

delray beach summer camp for children
May 18, 2014 at 1:41 pmAre there group therapy sessions who is dealing with depression and worry.
Attempting to converse with them, to tell them how badly our team was going
to thrash theirs, a waste of time and we sat back to enjoy with hilarity their antics.
Group video games like basketball, soccer, and field hockey are good methods to
have fun and learn new abilities. These make teen boot camps seem more
like punishment rather than life-changing or life-saving intervention. No talking was
allowed in the cook shack except to ask for the biscuits or some jam or some other food item.
If it isn’t then you may proceed to Step Two, if not, then i’m sorry you’ve been eliminated from survivor.
This is not a practice allowed, in fact strictly against the
rules, but what could a few bones tossed over the fence harm an animal that
crushed bones with its massively powerful jaws. It may have had its
beginning in rural America, but these days, 4-H offers
activities as diverse as rock climbing, ecology, cooking,
forestry, citizenship, animal care and more.
There should be at least one guard behind the sandbags in a good firing position, so
try to snipe him yourself to keep the troopers alive.
Campers will also be exposed to how to pursue a career in Culinary Arts and what it.

pure cambogia garcinia before and after pics
July 7, 2014 at 9:25 pmNow the question is what just are the rewards to deciding on and employing
Garcinina. Another option is to join the Weight Loss
Forums website here. Usually, you can see some results from the first 2
weeks, such as decreased water retention, and after 30
days you will see significant weight loss. The most typical, but not fatal, side
effects of this diet supplement include loose bowel movements
and mild stomach discomforts. Apple cider vinegar, enriched with organic acids, nutrients and enzymes acts as
a perfect home remedy for over weight problems. However,
hormones are very tricky to regulate and should only be guided
by a health care professional. And do it all
naturally without using so called “fat burners” or other supplements that claims to get the ability to burn belly fat fast.
Here you need to take 1 capsule of Garcinia Cambogia Gold 1 to 2 hours before each of your 3 meals that means a total of 1500 mg (3*500 mg) daily.
The Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract works well and
there is no doubt about it and you need to know it by your experience.
This condition is also costing the healthcare
system billions of dollars each year and contributing to heightened risks of contracting heart disease, diabetes, stroke and
cancer.
