Best 6 Raspberry Icebox Cake Recipes

FRESH RASPBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Stir mascarpone cheese; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Reserve 1/2 cup cream; cover and refrigerate. Add lemon zest and mascarpone to remaining whipped cream; beat until stiff peaks form, 30-60 seconds., On a serving plate, spread 1/2 cup of the cream mixture in a 7-in.-diameter circle. Arrange 6 cookies in a circle on top of the cream, placing a seventh cookie in the center. Gently fold 4 cups of raspberries into remaining cream mixture. Spoon about 1 cup raspberry cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat layers 6 times, ending with cookies (there will be 8 cookie layers in all). Spread reserved whipped cream over cookies; top with remaining raspberries. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.

RASPBERRY LEMON ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Add whipping cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or add to a large bowl and use the whisk attachments on a hand blender. Or whisk by hand, if you're feeling up to it! Whip cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and lemon juice and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Don't whip until very stiff; it makes the cake too difficult to assemble! With a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the lemon zest.
• Smear a little whipped cream on the bottom of a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. This will help to hold the first layer of graham crackers in place. Lay a single layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking a few apart if necessary to make them fit. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the graham crackers and smooth. Top with 1/3 of the raspberries - if they're large ones, I like to break them in half first. Top with another layer of graham crackers, another 1/3 of the whipped cream, and another 1/3 of the raspberries. Then add the remaining graham crackers and spread on the last of the whipped cream. Top decoratively with remaining raspberries.
• Carefully cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 36 hours.
• Remove from fridge, cut into squares, and serve.

RASPBERRY-LEMON ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice and zest. Beat until creamy and well blended. Add the raspberries and use a rubber spatula to smash and stir them into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
• Line a 9x3-inch loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper long enough to hang over the sides (this will act as a sling to lift out the cake when it's ready to serve).
• Arrange 8 gingersnaps in a single layer in the bottom of the pan. Spread one third of the filling over the cookies. Repeat this process twice with the remaining cookies and cream, making three layers in all.
• Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, and preferably overnight. When ready to serve, lift the cake out of the pan and cut into slices.

POP-ART RASPBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Line a 9 1/2 x 4 x 3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap is tucked into all the corners and there is at least 1 inch overhanging the top of the pan on all sides. Working with one cookie at a time, spread the more rounded side of 9 of the wafer cookies with a thin layer of melted chocolate and place 3 of them, chocolate side down, on the bottom of the pan. Place another 3 cookies against each long side of the pan, chocolate-coated sides facing the pan. Place the pan in the freezer.
• 2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let soften for 2 minutes.
• 3. Combine the raspberries and sugar in a medium-size heavy saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring a few times, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm to the touch. Stir in the gelatin mixture. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
• 4. Combine the heavy cream, framboise, and vanilla in a large bowl and, using an electric mixer, whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled raspberry mixture, taking care not to deflate the cream.
• 5. Remove the pan from the freezer. Pour all but one-fourth of the mousse into the pan. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Insert the remaining 18 wafers into the mousse, arranging them vertically in three rows of six so they are lined up with the chocolate wafers on the sides of the pan. Spread the remaining mousse over the wafers and smooth with the spatula. The pan should be full to the top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until completely set, overnight and up to 1 week.
• 6. To unmold, gently tug the plastic wrap that lines the pan to loosen the cake. Place a serving platter over the pan and turn over. Gently tap to release. Carefully peel the plastic from the cake. Cut into slices and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Beat cream with sugar and vanilla in a small deep bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks.
• Spread 1 heaping teaspoon cream onto each of 4 wafers. Arrange enough raspberries side by side (as close together as possible) on 1 cream-topped wafer to form an even layer. Stack 2 cream-topped wafers on a plate (cream sides up) and top with berry wafer, then carefully spread another teaspoon cream over berries. Top with last cream wafer and cover cream with remaining plain wafer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining cream. Cover with an inverted bowl and chill at least 4 hours.
• Serve cake with remaining berries.
