What is an icebox cake?

Whether you call it an icebox cake, fridge cake or fridge tart, this no bake dessert is always a crowd pleaser. Layers of cookies or cake, creamy filling made with cream cheese or cream and often fruit is chilled in the fridge until set. It’s a great dessert to make ahead and serve to a crowd and will last for days in the fridge.

Ingredients needed

Full recipe + amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

  • Cream cheese. This dessert is delicious made with creamed (smooth) cottage cheese too.
  • Mascarpone.
  • Sweetened condensed milk.
  • Fresh lemon juice.

How to make icebox cake

  1. For the blueberry sauce: Cook blueberries with sugar in a small saucepan, mashing the berries with the back of a wooden spoon, until the sauce is thick and glossy. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: Whip room temperature cream cheese / smooth cottage cheese with Mascarpone and sweetened condensed milk. Add the lemon juice and whip until smooth and thick.
  3. Assemble: Line a loaf pan (you can use any dish, a loaf pan just makes for pretty presentation) with a few layers of plastic wrap. Layer the cookies, cream layer and berries, finishing with a layer of cookies (this will be the base once the icebox cake is served) then cover with more plastic and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight. Carefully remove from the tin and peel off the plastic then slice and serve with fresh blueberries.

Can I make this dessert ahead?

It is the perfect dessert to make a few days ahead. You can assemble the icebox cake up to 2 days in advance before serving. Any leftovers can be kept covered in the fridge for another 2-3 days.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500g) cream cheese / smooth cottage cheese

Instructions

  • Line a standard loaf pan with 2 layers of plastic, ensuring the base and sides are well-covered.
