No Bake Summer Berry Icebox Cake
After such a great response from No Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake, my brain started churning with other similar ideas.
Summer is so close and the hot temperatures, are already in full swing where I live, and I have NO desire to crank up my oven. That’s where this No Bake Summer Berry Icebox Cake comes into play!
There’s very little preparation involved in this recipe, which makes it great for hot summer days or for crazy busy days (fighting off the million to-dos running through your head to catch a few precious hours of sleep, sounds familiar?). You can throw it together whenever you have time (even the day before is fine) and it will be ready and waiting for you in the refrigerator when you want a sweet treat!
The wonder of the No Bake Summer Berry Icebox Cake is that you layer graham crackers, cream cheese pudding mix, fresh berries – since it’s fresh berry season, I couldn’t resist adding the strawberries and blueberries to this dessert. They’re pretty, they make it look fancy, and it just feels like “summer.”, drizzle the white chocolate over the top and stick it in the icebox, aka the refrigerator. After a few hours, the crackers absorb the moisture from the fruit and pudding and develop a cake-like texture. You can have your cake without even baking!
