Happy September! I am thrilled that summer is almost over. It was a lovely summer but I'm ready for fall. It's still pretty warm out so I thought an icebox cake would be perfect to usher us into the next season. No one wants cold desserts when it's snowing! I always joke (to myself) that icebox cakes are the dessert version of casseroles. You can just layer away with goodies and somehow they all settle in nicely together. I first learned about these cakes from Smitten Kitchen. The recipe is super simple. I've made it twice and I swear to you, the cake tastes like a giant Oreo cookie. There are a million versions of icebox cakes that use ingredients such as pudding, cream cheese and whipped cream so have a look around the internet and find the one that suits you. I realize there isn't any baking involved, unless you'd like to bake your own cookies, wafers, cake or graham crackers but September is always busy so we can make something delicious without even turning on the oven!
Here are a few variations I found:
Cinnamon & Cream Cheese Icebox Cake
Strawberry Icebox Cake
Raspberry Icebox Cake
Lemon Graham Cracker Icebox Cake
Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Icebox Cake
Nutella Icebox Cake
Happy Layering!

I've never tried make an icebox cake, but I did read about it on Smitten Kitchen and it sounds/looks delish. Super excited to try it (:

What? That's it?
This cake looks like a slice costs 7.50... but I can't believe it's that easy to make.
Unfortunately, its yumminess comes at the cost of a lot of calories. I might have to skip this one.
Aki, there are so many versions you can make cakes that are fairly low cal. There are low fat graham crackers, fat free pudding and cool whip. You can absolutely make one that is low cal. :)
These is out of the world pretty! Can't wait to try this out.
These all sound like wonderful cakes and they certainly are easy to make. I love your blog and always enjoy the time I spend here. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
