DEE DEE'S NO-BAKE ICEBOX FRUITCAKE AND NUT ROLL

Steps:

• 1. Combine cracker crumbs, cherries, nuts, coconut, raisins, and craisins; set aside. NOTE: This is my suggestion for the meat of this nut roll. You can change out fruits and nuts of your choice. I would NOT suggest peanuts. You may like candied fruit and dates in place of cherries, raisin and craisins that I added. Craisins were a complete and wonderful accident. I had every intention of using only raisins. I only had 1/2 lb of raisins in the house and a pound and 1/2 of craisins. The craisins were a wonderful addition to what I was attempting!
• 2. Meanwhile, in a 2-quart sauce pan, stirring constantly, heat milk and marshmallows together until marshmallows are melted; remove from heat and add bourbon. NOTE: I used a double boiler.
• 3. Pour milk mixture over dry mixture. Mix well with hands. NOTE: If mixture is too loose, add more cracker crumbs. If too dry, add more liquid; milk or juice. I would not add more bourbon.
• 4. Divide the mixture into 8 to 10 balls. Somewhat shape into logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and using hands continue to shape into tight logs. The size roll should be the size you would like to slice and serve as a cookie.
• 5. Tighten the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. Slice and serve. Keep refrigerated.
• 6. NOTE: If you perfer loaf pans over a roll, spray 8 to 10 mini loaf pans with PAM and pack mixture in pans. NOTE: You can also roll these rolls in coconut flakes, powdered sugar or chopped nuts for a final touch. ENJOY!!

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.

NO BAKE FRUITCAKE BY PAULA DEEN

Steps:

• Spray 10 mini loaf pans with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the milk and marshmallow together over low heat.
• Stir constantly, because condensed milk scorches easily, until the marshmallows are melted.
• Remove the mixture from the heat.
• Combine the cracker crumbs, pecans, coconut, dates and cherries in a large bowl.
• Add the bourbon to the milk mixture and pour over the crumb mixture.
• Mix well with your hands.
• Scoop the mixture into the prepared pans and press down firmly to mold into shape.
• Refrigerate for 2 days.

NO-BAKE ICEBOX FRUITCAKE

Steps:

• Crush together the vanilla waffers and graham crackers and set aside.
• In a saucepan slowly bring to a boil the milk and sugar, being careful not to burn. Pour over crushed vanilla waffers/graham crackers and mix well (with your hands).
• Add fruit and nuts. Freeze (see tip below) overnight then cut into small squares or bite-size pieces. Keep in refrigerator or freezer.
• *** You can substitute 1 large bag of marshmallows for the sugar *** You can use candied cherries rather than jarred cherries *** You can use walnuts or both pecans and walnuts *** You can use mixed candied citrus fruit if you like...just get creative *** I also have used 2 containers of candied green cherries and 1 jar and 1 container of red cherries as well as chopped dates.
• TIP: I usually put the fruitcake in a 9 x 13 pan lined with parchment paper then cover it well before freezing. Once I cut it into pieces I put it in ziplock bags and back into the freezer. You can also make it into logs then refrigerate or freeze. Once it has chilled you can then cut small round slices.
• NOTE: This will not get hard frozen. I actually eat it right from the freezer. It doesn't have to thaw.
