Chocolate Icebox Cake
(printable recipe)
3 cups of Heavy Whipping Cream
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 box of Chocolate Graham Crackers
small block of Chocolate
Whip the heavy whipping cream in a large cold bowl.
Start by mixing on low for 2 minutes. Add sugar. Mix on
low for 1 more minute. Turn speed to high, and mix until
cream is thick and about medium stiffness. That means
that the cream will have tips, but they will curl on the end.
Cut some parchment paper for your loaf pan. You want
the paper to overhang on each strip so you can remove
the cake from the pan.
Place your graham crackers on top of the whipped cream
in the sequence shown above.
The best way to cut graham crackers so they won't break
is to use a serrated knife and slowly saw along the
graham crackers seams.
Pipe your whipping cream on to the top of the graham crackers.
Place another sequence of graham crackers on top of the whipped cream .
Then continue with more whipped cream, and another layer of graham
crackers. You should have 4 layers of whipping cream and 4 layers of
graham crackers.
Remove cake from pan by lifting the paper.
Place a layer of whipped cream on the plate you want to serve the
cake on. Make the layer the same size as the cake, and place the
cake on top of the cream, so the cream becomes the bottom layer.
Place a thick layer of whipping cream on the top layer of graham
crackers. Cover cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hrs
or overnight. Decorate with shaved chocolate just before serving.
Cut slices diagonally to show off your beautiful cake!
Enjoy!
At the beginning of this post I stated that you could make
this recipe easier. You can do it by using premade whipping cream!
