Brown Sugar Peach Icebox Cake Food

PEACH ICEBOX CAKE (PEACH REFRIGERATOR CAKE)

Steps:

• In a large bowl using an electric hand mixer or using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk 2 cups heavy cream and 2 tbsp sugar to stiff peaks. Set aside. If not using immediately, chill in the fridge.
• Place a layer of graham crackers at the bottom of a deep 8×8 inch baking dish.
• Evenly spread a heaping cup of cream mixture on top of your graham crackers.
• Assemble a layer of peach slices on top of that.
• Repeat by covering the peaches with graham cracker cookies. Be sure to cover the entire layer; cut the cookies to fit. Then cover with another layer of cream and top with more peaches.
• Chill the peach icebox cake in the fridge overnight or freeze for at least 4 hours (see notes).

PEACH BAKLAVA ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Add the peach slices to a medium bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the honey over the peaches and toss until coated. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
• Beat the yogurt, heavy cream and remaining 4 tablespoons honey in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan that is at least 2 inches deep with plastic wrap, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on all sides. Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the yogurt-cream mixture over the bottom of the pan. Evenly layer about 14 slices (about 1/2 cup) of the peaches over the cream. Top with 1 1/2 sheets of graham crackers. Break up the remaining 1/2 sheet into small pieces and use them to fill in the gaps. Repeat twice with the remaining yogurt-cream mixture, peaches and graham crackers (making sure to end with a layer of graham crackers on top). Cover the top of the pan with the overhanging plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12.
• When ready to serve, unwrap the top of the loaf plan and invert it onto a flat plate or cutting board. Remove the plastic wrap, sprinkle with the pistachios and drizzle with honey.

BLACKBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Remove the pound cake from its pan and line the pan with plastic wrap, leaving plenty of overhang.
• Slice the domed mound off the pound cake and set aside, then slice the remaining cake horizontally into 3 slices.
• Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Crumble the cake mound into crumbs. Add to the pan and toast until golden brown all over, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Mix together the blackberries, blackberry jam, lemon zest and juice in a bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a bowl. Whip until firm peaks form.
• Place one layer of cake in the bottom of the lined pan and press to slightly flatten. Top with a third of the blackberry mixture and a third of the whipped cream. Repeat the process 2 more times, ending with whipped cream. Loosely cover with the overhanging plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
• To serve, carefully lift the cake from the pan and remove the plastic wrap. Top with the toasted crumbs, a few blackberries and a sprig of mint, then slice and serve.

ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer using a whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff.
• Crush one-third of the wafers by hand or with a rolling pin inside a resalable plastic bag until they become coarse crumbs. Set aside.
• In a round 9-inch springform pan, layer in one-third of the whipped cream, smoothing evenly with a spatula. Then layer half of the remaining flat whole wafers close to each other, then one-third more of the whipped cream, then the remaining whole wafers and finally top with the rest of the whipped cream. Garnish the top of cake with the crushed wafers.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
• Run a paring knife around the springform pan and release the wall of the pan from around the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the pan and transfer to a serving dish or cake stand, then slice and serve.

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.

• Place the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and, using a hand mixer, whip until stiff.

Stir the raspberry preserves and disperse as evenly as possible over the cookies. Sprinkle over half of the raspberries, then top with another third of the whipped cream, followed by the remaining cookies. Stir the blueberry preserves and distribute as evenly as possible over the cookies. Sprinkle over half of the blueberries, then top with the remaining whipped cream and spread evenly. Garnish with the remaining fresh berries. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours.
• Run a paring knife around the springform pan and release the wall of the pan from around the cake, leaving the cake on the bottom of the pan. Transfer to a serving platter, top with the mint leaves and slice.
