Frequently Asked Questions
This simple recipe calls for the use of cookies, cream and some fresh berries. You can, however, experiment with different fruits too, and use tropical fruits like pineapples, mangoes and kiwi if you’re making this in the summer.
Another good variation to try out is to use sliced bananas and some caramel syrup instead of the strawberries and blueberries.
Your leftover icebox cake can be stored in the same container that you’ve assembled it in. Just make sure you cover it in cling wrap or with a lid to preserve its freshness.
You can definitely use low fat cream or not dairy whipping cream for this recipe. Remember that if you’re using the low fat variety though, you’ll need to give it ample chilling time to ensure that the cake holds its shape well.
You can use any sweet cookies of your choice for this recipe- it all depends on what you have at hand or your personal preference. Remember that the recipe calls for the use of unsweetened cream, so you’ll need to largely rely on the cookies (and the berries) for sweetness.
If you love chocolate, you can also use chocolate cookies of your choice.
Tips & Tricks to Make the Creamy Cookie Cake
Think you’re ready to give the recipe a shot? Wait up! You might want to have these little tips and tricks handy.
- Fancy some chocolatey goodness? Drizzle the cookies with some chocolate sauce before topping it with another layer of the cream.
- You can also sprinkle some chocolate shavings on the top, right before you serve- chocolate and berries are a match made in heaven, and this extra step will take your dessert to the next level.
- Want your dessert to have a healthier touch? Use a natural sweetener like honey in the cream, and use graham crackers or digestive biscuits instead of sweetened cookies.
- Toasted or candied nuts can be another great addition to this cookie cake. They can lend a nice element of crunchiness to the cake.
- To take the flavor of the icebox cake up a notch, you can also add a few drops of vanilla essence to the cream.
