Best Raspberry Icebox Cake Recipes

RASPBERRY AND PISTACHIO ICE CREAM ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9x5" loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Chill pan until ready to use. Toast nuts in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Place jam in a medium bowl and whisk to loosen, then gently mix in half of whipped cream. Mix vanilla and salt into plain whipped cream.
• Scoop half of vanilla whipped cream into prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. Arrange a layer of cookies on top, breaking or cutting to fit as needed. Add half of raspberry whipped cream, smooth into an even layer, and top with another layer of cookies. Dollop ice cream across top and smooth into an even layer. Add a third layer of cookies, followed by remaining raspberry whipped cream. Repeat with a fourth layer of cookies and finally spread remaining vanilla whipped cream over (don't worry if it's a little higher than edges of pan). Scatter reserved pistachios on top. Cover with plastic overhang and freeze until set, at least 6 hours.
• To serve, using plastic overhang, unmold cake (if it's hesitant to come out, run the sides of the pan under warm water for a few seconds to loosen) and cut into slices. Do ahead: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.

FRESH RASPBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Stir mascarpone cheese; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Reserve 1/2 cup cream; cover and refrigerate. Add lemon zest and mascarpone to remaining whipped cream; beat until stiff peaks form, 30-60 seconds., On a serving plate, spread 1/2 cup of the cream mixture in a 7-in.-diameter circle. Arrange 6 cookies in a circle on top of the cream, placing a seventh cookie in the center. Gently fold 4 cups of raspberries into remaining cream mixture. Spoon about 1 cup raspberry cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat layers 6 times, ending with cookies (there will be 8 cookie layers in all). Spread reserved whipped cream over cookies; top with remaining raspberries. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.

RASPBERRY-LEMON ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice and zest. Beat until creamy and well blended. Add the raspberries and use a rubber spatula to smash and stir them into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
• Line a 9x3-inch loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper long enough to hang over the sides (this will act as a sling to lift out the cake when it's ready to serve).
• Arrange 8 gingersnaps in a single layer in the bottom of the pan. Spread one third of the filling over the cookies. Repeat this process twice with the remaining cookies and cream, making three layers in all.
• Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, and preferably overnight. When ready to serve, lift the cake out of the pan and cut into slices.

PEACH-RASPBERRY GREEK YOGURT ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving at least a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Peel 2 of the peaches with a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler (a serrated peeler works great). Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Slice into 1/4-inch thick wedges and set aside.
• Combine the yogurt, cream, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until thick, about 2 minutes.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the raspberries and the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar in a small bowl. Mash together with a fork until the berries form a thick sauce. Lightly stir the raspberry sauce into the yogurt cream.
• Spread 1 cup of the yogurt cream in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Place a double layer of graham crackers on top; break some of the crackers into smaller pieces to cover any gaps. Next, arrange all the peach slices on top in a single layer. Top with another cup of yogurt cream, a double layer of graham crackers, and 1 cup of raspberries. Cover the raspberries with the remaining yogurt cream, followed by a single layer of graham crackers.
• Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 12 hours to allow the crackers to soften and the yogurt cream to set.
• When ready to serve, unwrap the plastic wrap and invert the loaf pan onto a platter. Remove the pan and the plastic wrap. Peel, pit and slice the remaining peach. Decorate the top of the cake with the peach slices and the remaining 1/2 cup raspberries. Cut into slices with a serrated knife.

RASPBERRY LEMON ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Add whipping cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or add to a large bowl and use the whisk attachments on a hand blender. Or whisk by hand, if you're feeling up to it! Whip cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and lemon juice and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Don't whip until very stiff; it makes the cake too difficult to assemble! With a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the lemon zest.
• Smear a little whipped cream on the bottom of a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. This will help to hold the first layer of graham crackers in place. Lay a single layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking a few apart if necessary to make them fit. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the graham crackers and smooth. Top with 1/3 of the raspberries - if they're large ones, I like to break them in half first. Top with another layer of graham crackers, another 1/3 of the whipped cream, and another 1/3 of the raspberries. Then add the remaining graham crackers and spread on the last of the whipped cream. Top decoratively with remaining raspberries.
• Carefully cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 36 hours.
• Remove from fridge, cut into squares, and serve.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Beat cream with the sugar and vanilla in a small deep bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks.
• Spread 1 heaping teaspoon cream onto each of 4 wafers.
• Arrange enough raspberries side by side (as close as possible) on 1 cream topped wafer to form an even layer.
• Stack 2 cream topped wafers on a plate (Cream sides up) and top with a berry wafer, then carefully spread another teaspoon cream over berries. Top with last cream wafer and cover cream with remaining plain wafer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining cream. Cover with an inverted bowl and chill at least 4 hours.
• Serve cake with remaining berries.
• Cake can chill up to 1 day.
• Cooking time is the chilling time.

POP-ART RASPBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Line a 9 1/2 x 4 x 3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap is tucked into all the corners and there is at least 1 inch overhanging the top of the pan on all sides. Working with one cookie at a time, spread the more rounded side of 9 of the wafer cookies with a thin layer of melted chocolate and place 3 of them, chocolate side down, on the bottom of the pan. Place another 3 cookies against each long side of the pan, chocolate-coated sides facing the pan. Place the pan in the freezer.
• 2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let soften for 2 minutes.
• 3. Combine the raspberries and sugar in a medium-size heavy saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring a few times, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm to the touch. Stir in the gelatin mixture. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
• 4. Combine the heavy cream, framboise, and vanilla in a large bowl and, using an electric mixer, whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled raspberry mixture, taking care not to deflate the cream.
• 5. Remove the pan from the freezer. Pour all but one-fourth of the mousse into the pan. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Insert the remaining 18 wafers into the mousse, arranging them vertically in three rows of six so they are lined up with the chocolate wafers on the sides of the pan. Spread the remaining mousse over the wafers and smooth with the spatula. The pan should be full to the top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until completely set, overnight and up to 1 week.
• 6. To unmold, gently tug the plastic wrap that lines the pan to loosen the cake. Place a serving platter over the pan and turn over. Gently tap to release. Carefully peel the plastic from the cake. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
