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.

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.

NO BAKE BLACK FOREST ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• In the bowl of your stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip the whipping cream on high speed until it reaches the soft peaks stage.
• Continue whipping the cream on high speed and slowly add the Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk in a steady stream until the mixture reaches hard peaks (be careful not to over-whip...you definitely don't want the mixture turning into butter!).
• Place a layer of thin chocolate wafer cookies in the bottom of a a 9x13 rectangular pan. Top the wafer cookies with a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture and sprinkle half of the chopped cherries evenly over the whipped cream mixture.
• Add one more layer of chocolate wafer cookies, another layer of the whipped cream mixture, and the rest of the chopped cherries.
• Add the last layer of chocolate wafer cookies and top with the remaining whipped cream mixture, smoothing it out on the top.
• Cover the cake with some plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 24 hours to set.
• Once you're ready to serve, simply remove the cake from the fridge and uncover it, arrange the fresh cherries on top so there's one for each slice, and crumble a few of the leftover wafer cookies on top, or top with some shaved dark chocolate.
• Serve immediately, and enjoy!
