No-Bake Raspberry Icebox Cake recipe

Icebox cakes are an old-fashioned method of creating delicious summery cakes without any baking at all. By layering fresh fruit and cream over crackers or other sweet breads, then allowing the mixture to set for hours in a fridge, the crackers absorb sweet liquid and become soft and moist, as the texture of a true baked cake. This is a summer treat you will be making for every season.

Ingredients List:

2 pounds fresh raspberries, washed
3 1/4 cups whipping cream, divided
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon salt
28 honey graham crackers
2 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped

Directions:

1. Place berries in a large bowl or food processor and lightly mash or blend until chunky and broken down, reserving a few whole berries for garnish.

2. Place cream in a large bowl and beat until stiff peaks just form. Fold in sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt.

3. Spoon a small amount of whipped cream along the bottom of a round baking pan, and arrange 6 graham crackers along the bottom. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the crackers, followed by a layer of crushed raspberries. Repeat three times, or until all ingredients are used. Top with a few berries.

4. Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, then pour over top of cake.

5. Place prepared cake in the fridge for 8 to 24 hours, until softened and creamy. Enjoy cold.
