“No-bake cake” may sound like an oxymoron, but in Icebox Cakes, a follow-up to the successful Icebox Pies and Icebox Desserts, Lauren Chattman proves once again that it is possible to make great-tasting and beautiful desserts without turning on your oven. In this book, Chattman’s creativity and skills as a trained pastry chef are on display as she lets chilling take the place of baking in 50 surprisingly easy recipes for cheesecakes, terrines, ice cream cakes, and cupcakes. These recipes are a snap, substituting store-bought pound cake, wafer cookies, and snack cakes for traditional layer cake in recipes such as Black Forest Ice Cream Cake, Blueberry and Spice Icebox Cupcakes, Strawberries and Cream Icebox Cake, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake. Lauren even brings the classic Twinkie to a new level of sophistication, using it in place of traditional ladyfingers to create Twinkie Tiramisu. These recipes are great for inexperienced bakers who want to create delicious, eye-catching cakes, and also for experts looking to add something new and fun to their repertoires.
