Ice Box Cake In a Jar

When I was younger my granny used to make this dessert called Icebox Cake.It was my favorite.Like stand in the kitchen and watch and sigh and giggle and try to stick my fingers in the whipped cream and wipe the bowl clean kind of favorite.I changed up the ingredients just a little to make it my own.Here's my version of Ice Box Cake in Jar.

Ingredients

  • 1 box of chocolate graham crackers
  • 1 quart of heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • hot fudge
  • mini chocolate chips

Method

  1. 1. In a large metal bowl, mix cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla and continue to mix until stiff peaks form.
  2. 2. Crush the graham crackers. I put them in plastic bags and used a rolling pin. They were so easy to crush up.
  3. 3. Add a layer of graham crackers, then whipped cream. Repeat until you fill the entire mason jar making sure the last layer is whipped cream. Top off with a cherry and mini-chocolate chips.
  4. 4. Chill. This is the most important step. This is the secret to making this recipe even better: Let the mason jar icebox cakes chill in the fridge for 4-6 hours before serving.
  5. 5. Serve with hot fudge and extra chocolate chips.
