It’s the most wonderful time of the year….
When the wafers are back, the cream is whipped, the sprinkles are out…let’s cheer!
This cake is going to make your life easier.
To start, it only involves three ingredients, you don’t need an oven and it’s completely fat-free!
Hah! You’re right. I’m a no-good dirty liar.
These little cakes are not fat free, but they will make your life easier. In my world, cream is considered it’s own food group.
Tell me this: is there anything better in life than whipping up a cake with only three ingredients in five minutes flat, then sitting in your sweatpants on the couch with said cake in your lap?
Personal Sized Chocolate Icebox Cakes
makes 4 mini cakes
16 Nabisco chocolate wafers
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
Whip cream with vanilla. Sandwich between four stacks of wafers (with four wafers in each little stack). Cover the outside of the cakes in cream and cover with sprinkles.
Chill in fridge (or freezer) for at least an hour and a half before eating.
It’s going to be a good night.

Jasmine @ Eat Move Write
December 17, 2010 at 7:45 amI don’t think I’ve ever seen chocolate wafers like that in the store. I will be on the lookout, because my hubs would love this personal pan cake. 🙂

michelle
December 18, 2010 at 4:00 amI usually find these lovely cookies by the ice cream sundae fixins. The wafers make a great cheesecake crumb base too.

December 17, 2010 at 8:06 amHi Jenna,

Carly
December 17, 2010 at 8:07 amIt’s like you’ve read my mind! Just saw these cookies in the store for the first time this past weekend! Can’t wait to try them – thanks!!
Lindsay
December 17, 2010 at 8:07 ami LOVE icebox cake!! My mom uses those same cookies, but she usually does one big long one, with it lying on its side. I think it’s an especially good summer cake since it’s cold 🙂
Stephanie @ Living and Loving

December 17, 2010 at 8:38 amYou have too many recipes that I can’t choose which ones to go with. I can’t do them all at this time of year – there’s not enough room in my freezer or stomach! 😉
Lauren at KeepItSweet
December 17, 2010 at 8:42 aminterestingly enough i have 2 packages of those wafers waiting for me in my kitchen!
Maria
December 17, 2010 at 8:44 amI love that these are personal desserts. I can’t wait to eat one all by myself!

December 17, 2010 at 8:52 amOMG YES: “When the wafers are back, the cream is whipped, the sprinkles are out…let’s cheer!”
I have never bought those wafers before, only Oreos. This is like making your own Oreo, except wayyyy better…hello real cream frosting, sprinkles,…oh, drool! I Love IT!!
Krystina (Basil & Wine)
December 17, 2010 at 8:55 amAdorable. Sprinkles make everything better.

Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin
December 17, 2010 at 8:58 amMy friend and I totally used to make a cake like this back in 8th grade! And then we may or may not have polished the whole thing off in one sitting. 😉
Heather
December 17, 2010 at 9:00 amYou mean I have to WAIT a FULL hour & a half before I can eat? Blasphemy 🙁 lol
Good thing I “need” to go to the store right now.
jenna

Heather
December 18, 2010 at 9:40 amWell, I did it. I made one of these today & am in love. So so good!!!! I ate it right out of the freezer & it was gone in 10.45 seconds!

Marie
December 17, 2010 at 9:26 amOh these are adorable, my family will love these (um they’ll be more for me, though). Shhh.

December 17, 2010 at 9:28 amFrozen goodies are so underrated this time of year! And sprinkles just takes it to the next level! Love.
Erica D (Gratitouille)
December 17, 2010 at 9:40 amThese are so cute! Like Little Debbie Cakes but way, way better.
P.S. I made your cinnamon toast muffins yesterday! How did you not burn your fingers dipping the just-out-of-the-oven muffins into the sugar? Regardless, they made my sick friend very happy. Even when sick, he’s manly enough to state his love for baked goods.
Dee
December 17, 2010 at 9:41 amHoly yum! This looks incredible!
Amy @ whatjewwannaeat
December 17, 2010 at 9:50 amYou had me at rainbow sprinkles and heavy cream.

Kristina @ spabettie
December 17, 2010 at 10:39 amah… these take me back to childhood… my mom would make them for her bunco parties, and we got to eat one beforehand… 😀 always my favorite treat!
Christie @ Honoring Health
December 17, 2010 at 11:18 amNow, if only they were gluten and dairy free.
Le sigh.
I need to come up with my own version.
Amber K
December 17, 2010 at 11:32 amOnly in a perfect world… 😉
Kim
December 17, 2010 at 2:32 pmChristie, I was thinking the same thing! I’m going to scope out the gluten free cookies at my grocery and try to come up with a version. I can’t help but wonder if they’d be delish with coconut ice cream sandwiched in between too!
Mabelle @ Dance, Love, Dine
December 17, 2010 at 11:54 amWow that looks amazing. Im drooling over here. Im sure it tastes even better than it looks!

Kim
December 27, 2010 at 7:46 pmI did it! I made these tonight, and I’m in love.
I used Pamela’s gluten-free cookies since I can’t have the wafers, and they turned out so great.
So excited that I finally had the chance to make one of your desserts!

Kristen @ Popcorn on the Stove
March 28, 2012 at 8:36 pmThis looks AMAZING. Much safer than making a regular ice box cake and eating the entire thing!
