This Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice-Box Cake Will Be Your New Go-To No-Bake Dessert

Sometimes for dessert, you want something decadent and complex. Most of the time, though? We want something simple, easy, and delicious— like this ice-box cake! The fabulous no-bake dessert couldn’t be easier, and yet the finished product knocks more complicated desserts out of the park. Even better, you can use your favorite chocolate chip cookies – be they homemade or store-bought – to make it. When it’s layered with whipped cream, chocolate, and caramel, there’s really nothing better. Watch Tastemade show us how to put it together.

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice-Box Cake Will Be Your New Go-To No-Bake Dessert

INGREDIENTS
4 cups heavy cream, preferably organic
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
48 thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies, such as Tate’s
1 bottle caramel sauce, such as Ghirardelli
1 bottle chocolate sauce, such as Ghirardelli
1 small dark chocolate bar, for shavings

DIRECTIONS
1. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or with a hand mixer whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to soft peaks. Set aside.

2. Using a medium sized cake plate or large, round, flat platter begin to build the cake. Smear a little bit of the whipped cream on the bottom so the cookies don’t slide around. Place 5-6 cookies on the bottom as the base.

3. The amount of cookies needed and used depends on the size of platter/cake plate you use. It also depends on how high you want to make it.

4. On top of the cookies spread a hefty amount of whipped cream over, leaving the outer edges of the cookies exposed. Drizzle with the chocolate and caramel sauce followed by some shavings of the chocolate bar using a vegetable peeler.

5. Layer more cookies on top of the whipped cream mixture and continue alternating and building it up until you use all of the cookies or it’s the height you want. It will start to resemble a cake.

6. The last layer will be whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate and caramel sauce with the chocolate shavings. Place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to let it soften up slightly before slicing.

RASPBERRY MASCARPONE TART WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

A dark chocolate cookie crust filled with whipped mascarpone and topped with raspberries.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?  We really don’t go like to go crazy for this “holiday”, our life is crazy enough 🙂  Although you won’t find us in a restaurant,  maybe I’ll make dessert.   Sometimes I’ll make a heart shaped breakfast for the kids, or some heart shaped cookies.  So creative I know! Stepping away from the hearts this year, but I definitely think that for Valentine’s Day chocolate is a must!  That’s why I started this tart with a dark chocolate cookie crust.  The rich chocolate flavor goes perfectly well with the smooth creamy whipped mascarpone filling.  Mascarpone cheese is a little indulgent (and challenging to spell!) but what better excuse than love to bake with the best ingredients. A few simple raspberries are the topping.  I just love the gorgeous color they gave t...

CHERRY GALETTES WITH ALMOND SOUR CREAM CRUST

Another month has passed and it’s time for Mystery Dish!  This month’s host was Sarah at The Pajama Chef.  She put together an great list of items including:  coffee, sour cream, farro, almonds, cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe, jicama, cucumber, tomatoes, flavored oils, herbs, cornmeal and hot peppers.  Since cherries are one of the few fruits I love, and they are only in season for approximately 12 seconds each year, I knew they had to be in my recipe.  Visions of pastry danced in my head. When served up a fruit pie, I tend to eat all the crust and leave the fruit on my plate.  I can truly embrace a “pie” with a higher crust to filling ratio.  How I love the galette (French),  also sometimes known as a crostata (Italian).  Regardless of the origins, who doesn’t love more buttery flaky crust? We had to use at least 3 ingredients in our mystery dish, so I decided to add some almonds and sour cream into my pie crust.   Sour cre...
