ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer using a whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff.
• Crush one-third of the wafers by hand or with a rolling pin inside a resalable plastic bag until they become coarse crumbs. Set aside.
• In a round 9-inch springform pan, layer in one-third of the whipped cream, smoothing evenly with a spatula. Then layer half of the remaining flat whole wafers close to each other, then one-third more of the whipped cream, then the remaining whole wafers and finally top with the rest of the whipped cream. Garnish the top of cake with the crushed wafers.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
• Run a paring knife around the springform pan and release the wall of the pan from around the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the pan and transfer to a serving dish or cake stand, then slice and serve.

ICE BOX FRUITCAKE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, raisins, walnuts, cherries, condensed milk and vanilla wafers. Dough will be very thick, you will need to use your hands.
• Form dough into a ring shape on top of a dinner plate. Wrap in many layers of plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil. Allow to age in the refrigerator for at least a week. The flavors will have a chance to blend and all of the milk will be absorbed into the cake.

ICEBOX FRUITCAKE RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• Chop everything that needs chopping; put the cherries, pineapple, and dates in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle sugar over the fruit and lightly toss together to unstick the fruit. Coarsely break nuts into a separate bowl. Set aside. Coarsely break apart the graham crackers then pulse in a food processor until fine crumbs. (I did this in 3 batches). Pour crumbs into a large mixing bowl; add cinnamon and the sweetened condensed milk. Using a spoon or your hands, combine to form a stiff dough. Add remaining ingredients and knead them into the dough using your hands. Dump the mixture out onto a piece of Saran plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Firmly shape into a log about 3-4 inches in diameter. Roll up tightly and place in the freezer for about an hour before removing the wrap. To serve, cut into 1/2-inch slices with a sharp knife and arrange on a serving plate. Store covered in the refrigerator.
