I love hearing all of your memories associated with this cake. So stinkin' cute! Keep sharing them below. They make me smile. :)
A good substitute for dairy whipped cream is whipped coconut cream. You can either buy coconut cream in a can or get it from the top of a can of full fat coconut milk. Just chill the coconut cream and whip it as usual.
All the squirrels in South Carolina are named Fred and Fredericka. Lol all of them have imaginary numbers after their names. Haha. I was attending USC Columbia and didn't know the squirrels were so friendly. I was outside eating and Einstein bagel one day and a squirrel buddy just jumped up on my table and kept creeping closer and closer and closer to me. I finally nipped off a piece and laid it in front of me. The squirrel took the bagel bite and ran off. From them on, I generally named them Fred and Fredericka. Lol no reason for the names except they were the first to come to mind. 💙
I could also see you doing something like raspberry jam every other layer
Aor ch Tylenol
Shouldn’t you have put some sugar in your whipped cream? I always do. Looks like a yummy cake!!
This was the first birthday cake that I remember having, just me and my dad in a tiny little apartment, with no air conditioning. As my dad was cutting the cake, the DJ on the local radio station wished me a happy birthday. Thanks for the memories, Emmy.
Aww 🥰
Thanks for sharing this! Made me think of some of my small birthdays with just me and my mom and dad. Never had better birthdays than the simple ones with just them.
Getting a radio greeting used to mean a great deal!
When I was about 7, my 5 year old brother called to complain to the DJ because he didn't play my request. They put him on air and then played my song. 😂😭😍
What a lovely memory!
This is my mom's traditional 'baby's 1st birthday' cake! There are pictures of my brother and I making such a mess of it. It is wild & cool to see such an everyday part of my growing up through someone finding it for the first time.
Aww that's really adorable and sweet and sounds like a great idea for cake for babies/toddlers, not too much excessive sugar, small, and easy so it's not a ton of effort and money into something that's gonna end up smeared all over the place :'P
Does sound like a great idea and a sweet family tradition 😊
Such wholesome content 🥺 yes please to everything about this comment ❤️
That’s a sweet memory! I love it so much. 💜
That's so precious 😭
Ok. So australians know this recipe as "Chocolate Ripple cake" due to using Arnotts chocolate ripple biscuits which are thicker than yours, and most of us will also soak the ripple biscuits in baileys or sherry before we glue it together with cream haha! Totally recommend the adult version ;). You can also use ginger biscuits to make a gingerbread style one!
you beat me to it except I remember using orange juice not Bailey's to dip ( underage drinking was not encouraged in home economics classes at my private girls school during the 70s - now I use Contresu)
Came here to make this comment. Chocolate Ripple cake is THE BEST!
Have you tried a mint liquor? Trust me it's amazing.
@@trintaz yum! So good with Peppermint Crisp crumbled on top too.
@@dulcinealee3933 Whoops I should have read the comments first I wrote almost the same as you.
My mom made this cake, one of my favorites! But she always left it plain. No chocolate shavings or fruit. I have 4 siblings so it had to be cut in 7 pieces which were not very large. I told my mom that when I grew up I was going to make one and eat it all myself. 😳 For some reason, it tasted better when I only got a small piece! 🙂
Hey emmy, in Portugal we have a cake like this, its literally called "Bolo de bolacha" wish means cookie cake. but instead we use our traditional "bolacha maria" cookies and we soak the cookies in coffee and stack them like little towers 4 or 5 together and make layers of cream between the cookies and cover it in cream and refrigerate! its a great easy dessert!
Finalmente mais algum portugues aqui!!! E agora estou cheia de vontade de me encher de bolo de bolacha :))
That sounds phenomenal!
ruclips.net/video/6wCYB4rulWo/видео.html
The coffee addition sounds delicious. I have made something similar without the coffee, but use vanilla extract or even almond extract. I am sure it would be even better with amaretto or baileys.
That link someone posted is a similar video. Emmy has used Maria cookies before in her icebox cake video. Where she referenced Spain.
damn, it’s crazy how far Emmy has come. I remember watching her vids back when I was in high school - was a fan of those vids where she tries snacks/candies from all over the world
Aww...welcome back. 😊
@@emmymade oh crap! I’ve always been here supporting your vids ever since! I made it sound like I just found your vids again 😅 lol i am horrible at wording
I love that in Emmy world, cookies getting soggy is "magical". Shes too pure. Just total positivity and goodness.
I think this would be great to make individual cakes with. Stack them one on top of another and get a mini-cake. And when you cut through it with your fork, there's the zebra!
I'm in Australia and I do a Ginger version of mini cakes. I use Ginger biscuits which I dip in Ginger Beer and coat with Cream. I have add sugar, Cinnamon, Ginger spice and a little nutmeg to the cream. I decorate the tops with Glacè Ginger or Crystallised Ginger.
In my family, we call the ginger version Tiger Cake. Never thought of those additions, though-that’d take it to the next level!
That's a great idea
I do wonder if that might make the bottom layers soggier though.
@@andrewthezeppo not when using Ginger Nuts. And it is a quick dunk not a soak. I need to test on the Aldi biscuits as they have pieces of ginger in them.
If someone wanted it a little sweeter, they could sweeten the whipped cream. You could also mix some fruit preserves into the whipped cream (strawberry, perhaps) to add to the flavor.
I think whipped cream, especially when you add vanilla needs a small amount of sugar. Not a lot, max a tablespoon.
Also whipped cream cream cheese frosting.
Great ideas ❤️
My mom always added some sugar to the cream. Another tip is try brushing the cookies with a touch of Amaretto.
You can also make it adults only by adding some baileys irish cream liquor to the whipped cream.
The cross-section kind of reminds me of the Viennetta we used to eat when I was a child. You used to get one as dessert in the KFC family bucket 😋 (London UK)
I haven't thought of the Vienetta desserts in AGES! 😲 I loved those things. Now I'm gonna have to see if they're still selling them somewhere or if someone has a recipe somewhere!!! 🤔😊
They still sell it in Australia!😊
They sell it again! I saw it at family dollar. (Louisiana)
@@AndreaMartinez-rj2iw They sell Vienettas at a few select “Pick & Save” grocery stores (a Kroger-owned chain based in Wisconsin). We just had one on New Years Day. Love the “crackle!”
@@mjgee2713 we are in SC, so we don't have Kroger. 😩 I grew up in WV and Kroger was one of the few grocery stores we had. Miss them, but thankful for Publix. Maybe Food Lion would carry them??? They are a Kroger based company, I think?? Thanks for the info!!
I remember seeing them making this on "Zoom" when I was a kid and not being able to get the wafers so I got Oreos and just made it with those. It was so dang good I made it all the time. I love how we all have different memories of the same basic "cake".
Did you use the whole cookie leaving the icing between wafers?
@@cyana5867 did you find the answer for this q? I’ve been wondering too!
@@ruwance1 I’m hoping my question will jump up and get Lisa Beanz attention. If not I might have to try it myself! What do you think of using graham cracker boards?
OMG. I did this same exact thing! Also saw on zoom and made with oreos lol!
In Australia we call this a chocolate ripple cake as we use arnotts brand choc ripple biscuits (instead of the wafers emmy used) but its still sandwiched together and coated in cream the same way as emmy did it, however we prepare it on a sheet of foil then lightly wrap it in that foil and place it in the fridge overnight to set and then its cut in the same way emmy cut it.
Wow! The nostalgia!!! I use to make this as a kid. I remember this recipe being featured on the kids show Zoom and I begged my mom to buy the ingredients so that I could make it lol I’m definitely going to make this with my 9 year old, she would LOVE this too!!❤️
I remember it from Zoom too!
Come on and zoom zoom zooma zoom!
Omg I remember this from zoom too!
If you like what you see turn off the tv and do ittttt. 👏🏼❤️
I'm gonna Zooma zooma zoom a zoom.
This recipe was also on a show called Zoom…so good (I’m aging myself)
Lynese made it lol
Haha yes!!! I loved that show
Zoom zoom zooma zoom
@@streamskat C'mon give it a try! We're a-gonna show you just why!
02134.. LOL.. I think.. actually, I was a young married lass the first time I watched zoom (I was only 16), but I remember it fondly.
I remember it from zoom too! Literally anytime I hear someone mention "whipped topping". I think of that segment. Even as a child watching it. I somehow knew that refrigerator wasn't plugged in. I can still see her cut into it and it breaking apart as she stood over this mess of a cake and decided which crumbly frozen slice she wanted. Always careful to remember to tell the children to cut the cake with an adult to be safe, but really it was so they couldn't be sued.
We made this often in the summertime, we called it "refrigerator cake" - it was wonderful.... mmmm.. now I want to make one!
It was a Christmas/ New Years tradition for us. Dad was always the one to make it, and for whatever reason finding the wafers was always a pain (Meijer loves to move their stock around.)
Yes! Refrigerator Roll here in Seattle!
Same
or ice box cake
Hi Emmy, I've made a similar cake in the past. The recipe called for the biscuits to be placed on a 45 degree angle as you construct it, so you can slice the cake as you would normally do. You just need a half biscuit on the ends. This worked beautifully. It was my contribution to a dinner party. When the hostess sliced into the cake, everyone was very impressed with the striped. You do a great job, thank you for sharing.
No that makes perfect sense ! 👍
This is almost exactly like what we in Australia call a Chocolate Ripple Cake, named after the biscuits/cookies that are traditionally used. I remember having these in the 1970s!
Yeah, this cake is old news for any Aussie xD
It is I made one for Christmas
@@SMRCEC so did I!!! 😁
It's our Yule Log in Tasmania and I make it for Christmas Eve - so good
I'm coeliac and Arnott's FINALLY released a GF chocolate ripple - first thing I did was make a GF one of these 🍫
i just love reading everyone's homemade versions of this cookie-cake, Emmy is always bringing us together through food ❤️🍰 so very wholesome
Yes!!!!!!!! One of my favorite things about this comment section 💕
My mother made this all the time during the summer - no need to turn on the oven or the stove. (You can always add a little sugar, if it isn't sweet enough for you.)
*Wishing everyone the best sleep of their life after having seen this relaxing video!*
🥰🥰🥰
can u also try making mango graham cake it's super easy, simple and yummy, no baking just stick it inside the freezer overnight, it has graham crackers, condense milk, cream and ripe mangoes
Ohhhh that sounds amazing!
This looks just like a choc ripple cake that we make here in Australia and I grew up having them every Xmas
I was just thinking that
Because it reminds us of a Yuletide log except white!
This is one of my favorite desserts since childhood (I am mid 50s). My mom used to jaxx it up with some creme de menth in the cream which has quite a bit of sugar.
This was my dad's birthday cake and mine too... I used to make it for my son in law as well. I enjoy this cake with Nyåkers Pepparkakor ( a Swedish ginger snap cookie .. thin and wafer crisp like the famous chocolate wafers) - makes a nice change of pace! I love this cake any way I make it! We always did ours as a double wide so you got a double strip of cookie & cream...
Ohhh that sounds so good!!!
In Australia, this is a chocolate ripple cake. My mum used to make it all the time..great mum but not the best cook, this was foolproof, even for her. So may variations too, ginger nut with cardamom flavoured cream..so good
When you mentioned dipping the cookies in coffee, it reminded me of a recipe I tried last summer called "chocotorta" which uses thin chocolate cookies like those, dipped in coffee, and layered with dulce de leche (also a refrigerator cake!) SOOOO YUMMY!
Oh, yeaaaah. Chocotorta is yum: ruclips.net/video/6wCYB4rulWo/видео.html.
Love this cake. We usually add a tsp. or two of confectioner sugar to the cream before whipping.
like the box says to do
I remember seeing them make this on "Zoom" when I was a kid. Always wanted to try it.
This is one of my favorite desserts of all time! We also made one called Maria Cake using Goya Maria cookies dipped in coffee and layered with chocolate pudding. You should try that one too!
I have already wish Oreo would make a no-cream version so I will be looking for these cookies next time I shop!
Stauffer's brand chocolate animal crackers are a good substitute if you just want to munch on the cookies, not make a cake!!
When we couldn’t get the Nabisco wafers we scraped the icing off the Oreos and just used the cookies. They are a little small and somewhat thicker, so they benefit from a full overnight refrigerator stay. Shaved chocolate on top and preserved chopped ginger. -So delicious!
If Emmy opened up a pastry shop it would be highly successful. She is a talented lady indeed.
Little Debbie was the only zebra cake I ever knew about. I love this channel! I learn so much about food.
yes and this Chocolate Roll cake was considered the quick and Easier version of the antique Swiss Roll, which involved baking a cake in a jelly roll pan and rolling it up like a Yule Log cake - NOT a zebra cake - but she's too young to know all the OG stuff
This reminds me of a chips ahoy no-bake pie my family makes! You take chips ahoy original cookies (or any off-brand hard cookies), dip them in milk, place a layer of them in a graham cracker crust, and then cover the layer of cookies with whipped cream. Then repeat until the crust is full and refrigerate! It’s absolutely delicious!
are you from pennsylvania? my family and my friends fmaily made this and we lived in philly
Here in Australia we use chocolate ripple biscuits, whipped cream and sprinkles. If you are fancy you can dip the biscuits in orange juice and then layer with the cream as usual. It adds a lovely orange flavour. Super easy dessert to make.
Never thought to dip them in orange juice! What a wonderful idea!
@@Iceechibi it lends a nice flavour. Just make sure the dip in is like for a second or two - in and out. Otherwise the biscuits (cookies) will fall apart.
I'm in Australia too and never in all the years of having ripple cake have I heard of the dipping the biscuits in orange juice thing.
@@angelicone181 try it, it’s awesome!
Very similar to the Chocolate Ripple cake we make in Australia. (Using chocolate ripple biscuits/cookies)
As a child I watched someone make this dessert on that pbs kids show called "zoom". This video brought back all the nostalgia! I can't wait to make and try this dessert 😋
We make that every year almost.. usually at Christmas and sometimes we get creative with the shapes, sometimes in a wreath shape but we generally do whipping cream n sugar not vanilla.. might try that.. is yummy and easy to make
My family never made this. In fact, this is the first time I've ever seen it. But it does look good. 😃
Hmmm. I wonder about a lemon or strawberry version of this.
LOL we call this a "log" in my family and make it every christmas. Definitely one of the first desserts I ever learned how to make and bring to family dinners.
The most popular version of an icebox cake here in the Philippines is the mango graham cake-just graham crackers, whipped cream but mixed with condensed milk instead of vanilla, and mangos. It's basically the same preparation as this one except the crackers are just lined up horizontally with the mangoes in between. It's a favorite treat of mine when I was a kid and even today 🤤🤤
Edit: there's also a version that uses avocados instead of mangos (we eat avocados mainly as dessert) and it's not as sweet but just as good 🥑
My mom used to make these when I was a kid (I'm 60 now). They were my favorite! I think it's time to make one for my grown-up daughter and make some new memories!
I'm craving for cake now, especially with strawberries on it 😋
Add 2 tbs of confectioners sugar to the heavy cream before whipping will make it sweeter. It’s basically what you’re supposed to add when making whipped cream. 😉🖤🖤🖤
I agree ☝️
This reminds me of a no bake eclair cake, where you make a custard out of vanilla pudding mix and whipped topping- line it with graham crackers and top the whole cake with melted chocolate or frosting. Refrigerate it overnight and the cream absorbs the crackers and becomes soft like a cake. It’s soo good- I’ll have to try this as well.
LOL! As an electrician, I love that you included electrons as an ingredient in this recipe.
We also had this dessert occasionally when I was a kid.
This is so creative and creamy looks so sweet. Nice combination. Good idea putting it in refrigerator to soften. So nice👍
Hi Emmy! I remember a recipe like this on the show "Zoom" as a Tween!
Watching this unlocked a strange memory for me. I’m not sure if I first saw someone on PBS kids make this or even on the hit show zoom as a kid they did a rendition of this. :) I love you Emmy.
I’m lactose intolerant too and I’ve found coconut cream in replacement of heavy cream makes really yummy whipped cream!
As a vegan I thought about using coconut cream, too!
We call this "The Christmas Log Cake". My mom has made this for our family Christmas dinner for over 30 years. I wait all year for it. It's my favourite.
We did the same.
I've seen those cookies at my local grocery stores many times before, and I love how the packages features a Zebra Cake recipe.
One of my absolute favorite things! A delicious addition is to mix peanut butter into the whip cream 😍. Alternatively I've also layered fruit inside!
I love those cookies. Get my Oreo fix without having to scrape cream off 😂
YES!
Aw this is one of my Dad's favorites! I "baked" it for his birthday a few times!
I think my family would love those cookies. We love Oreos, but the cream is too sweet for us. I've never seen those cookies before, I'll definitely keep an eye out for them!
My experience has been that these cookies are often found at the end of the ice cream aisle or sometimes even in the baking aisle at the market. They are rather expensive, upwards of $6 for a sleeve, but so worth it!
These are some of my favorite cookies, I have the same thought about the Oreo filling. They are delicious.
I have found these cookies at my local grocery store on the cookie aisle, but up on the top shelf.
So hard to find famous wafers and expensive but so delicious and much better than Oreos for making a chocolate cookie crust for cheesecakes/pies
Why not whip the Oreo filling into the whipped cream as a sweetener? It will be very smooth and creamy. And probably more stable than if you just used sugar.
No use in throwing the filling out.
I just don't like wasting food.
Especially now since the prices have gone sky high.
I make this with a thicker biscuit dipped in orange juice and I add coffee to the cream. In Australia this is our Yule log for Christmas.
@@graceglass678 I've done both but the liquid coffee works best.
My mother made this dessert back in the 1950's. I've been trying to find the chocolate wafers for years! I didn't know they were still available. Thank you!
You're most welcome.
They are usually with the ice cream 🍨 cones and toppings section of grocery stores.
I think I'll add a little confectioner's sugar when making the whipped cream to make it a tad sweeter...
You can also make this with gingersnaps. Really good and perfect for the holidays.
Yum gonna have to try that love ginger snaps.
My Mom made this when I was little. It didn't last long because there were 8 in my family. It was so yummy!
Oh yes! My mom made this all the time when we were younger and it was always a hit! Glad to see it on your channel :)
YAAAAAA another Emmy day!! Ugh I just absolutely adore her!! Emmy if u ever happen to see this thank you for your content 😊 u make my day
I remember my Grandma making these all the time when I was a kid!
I’ve been watching your videos on and off for so many years and they never fail to bring comfort. Thanks for your presence!!
This is an Aussie classic! We call it chocolate ripple cake! It’s so yummy! We have it every Christmas!
My grandma taught me a similar “cookie pie” where you do something very similar. Dip original chips ahoy cookies in milk and lay them in a layer in a pie dish, cover with a layer of whipped cream or cool whip. Keep alternating until you run out of space and leave it in the fridge for 24 hours. It’s divine and reminds me of my childhood
Without a crust?
I made an icebox cake once...but I did oreos, a sweet cool whip and creamcheese fluff, and Bailey's Irish cream 😉
That sounds so good!!!
This reminds me of our Mexican Pay helado de Limón. It is made with galletas Maria, a can of condensed milk, a can of evaporated milk and half a cup of lemon juice, the liquids all mixed in the blender, you layer the cookies in a mold and cover them with the mixture like a sweet lasagna and put it in the freezer for a couple hours and bam! You have a delicious dessert! 😋
oh the memories...my mom use to make this...so good, thanks for making this
The appearance reminds me of the frozen Vienna cake. Always wanted to try when I was a child, but it was only for the adults. 😂
I used to think this as well, but when I got a store bought Vienna Cake it was quite different than this. The one I had was made with very thin crispy chocolate and ice cream.
Awesome to see a video on this cake! In my family, it's usually first cake a kid learns to make and so simple and yummy 🙂🙂
Oh my! I make this every year for Christmas and any other family gathering. It's easy, not overly sweet and a huge fan favourite.
We must watch a lot of emmymade vids. My 4 year-old goes, Oh, sometimes she forgets to plus in the mixer, but she didn’t this time.
I was surprised the whipped cream didn’t have any sugar at all. I thought at least a tablespoon or two was standard…
I wondered about that as well. :)
As a Southerner, I was shocked by no sugar in the whipped cream…we like sweet desserts. My grandmother used to make this cake, and she added a half cup of sugar to two cups of whipped cream, and a teaspoon of vanilla.
Kinda reminds me of "Dirt Cake" my mom would make it for us. Its pretty much a giant parfait lol with layers of Oreo that were put in the pool processor, pudding, and whipped cream, always end with Oreo on top. My mom served it in a large flower pot with fake flowers in it for my sisters birthday once and the guest were shocked when she took a big scoop of the soil lol. its optional to top with gummy worms too.
This sounds like an awesome illusion cake 😁
Those wafers alone are a treat! Adding whipped cream....AND raspberries!? Simple perfection!
Growing up, my mom would make this often. It’s, absolutely, one of my favorite desserts.
For those who want it a little sweeter they could actually sweeten the whipping cream before whipping by adding 1/4 to 1/3 cup of sugar depending on their tastes.
I was thinking the same thing. I would use powdered sugar and prolly more vanilla.👍
I was actually surprised when she didn’t use sugar. I always sweeten my whipped cream, but I guess some people don’t? Learn something new every day! 💕
@@moniquemosley2122 yeah that's a good idea. When I use granulated sugar, I just put it in the cream and stir gently for a minute or two to allow it to dissolve.
Hi Emmy! You are always a pleasure to watch. 🌸
I'm 60 and this has been a birthday cake/dessert as I grew up! Best cake ever!
THANK YOU Emmy!! This was so fun to watch!! I loved it! You are THE BEST!! ❤️
Fresh whipped cream is so simple and totally worth doing, it tastes much better in my opinion. Most people add a small amount of sugar, thought it was a little odd Emmy didn't.
Yeah... my mom always did and so do I... add a wee bit of sugar or sugar substitute like Allulose...
I wondered about that too.
Silentshadow867 - some people actually like the flavour of the plain cream and I am one of them. Kind of like non salted chips - I prefer those - when I can gat them - because I actually like the flavour of the potato. 🙂
👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
@@robertapearson3507 That makes sense. I mean, cream does have a slight natural sweetness to it being that lactose is a sugar compound.
I remember my mom making this (I tried to find some of the wafer cookies to make it for the grandkids early in lockdown but the price was skyhigh). Mom also used the wafer cookies to make a type of Baked Alaska.
I make it using these and thin Oreos.
@@foofyastralpunk5875 I was just wondering if you could do a mini version by scraping out the cream and using the cookies. Could layer them in a muffin cup and do mini cakes or something lol
I'm so touched you made this! My grammy LOVES this cake and it's been made in my family for years.
My grandma just passed away yesterday and my best memory of her is every holiday when she would make this cake for us. Now, I make it for my kids every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s the best way I can think to carry on her memory ❤️
Thats such a cool cake! My kids love the little Debbie's zebra cake, treats but I'd like to make this cake for them to try
This would be good with a mint whipped cream too I think…🤤
Wonderful idea!
Mint Oreo cookies. Dip in milk first and the rest is the same :)
I add orange extract to my whipped cream for this.
I made this with mint whipped cream when I was a kid. Can confirm it is delicious! 😋
This is THE BEST cake EVER! Brings back so many wonderful memories. xoxo
My younger-than-me sister-in-law made this for a get-together and I loved it! It's so light and airy but super delicious.
I legit thought it was gonna be like the zebra snack cakes 😂
This video is an affront to our lord and savior Little Debbie.
Hi, Emmy - when I was attending our local Lutheran church, the German heritage women of that church used to make a cake that is (I think) exactly like this one. It would appear at pot-lucks with some regularity. When a couple of the non-German speaking congregants asked what kind of cake it was - that was before it was cut into - they gave us the German name. Unwittingly, we said, “Ooo, that sounds delicious.” They laughed and then translated the name of the cake. It was “Cold Dog’s Nose”!!!!!!! We were all non-plussed by the translation. We asked why on earth such a lovely cake would have such an unappetizing name. They were still laughing and told us that they had no idea why it had that name, it just was called that. I think there must be something to do with the German sense of humour. They would tell us some standard German jokes, which would have them laughing, and then translate them into English for us. The English versions were almost always totally not funny - at all. Even they themselves found it strange. Anyway, perhaps there is a German heritage person out there who knows about this cake and could give me the German name for it.
Also, if you are making this in the summer for an outdoor bbq, whipped cream tends to melt at room temperature, after a little while of sitting out. To keep it from doing this, these same German women would use this little pack of German powder called “Whip-it” in English and it was made by the Dr. Oetker company. I believe it is a calcium based powder (often with vanilla flavouring or plain) and was/is found in the “Imported/European Foods” section of the grocery store. Any time you whip cream and want to have it sitting out for people to use in their hot chocolate, or to ice a cake (Black Forest comes to mind), or whatever else you can come up with - if you add this little pack of powder to the cream (follow package directions) your cream will stay whipped for days!!! And it won’t melt at room temperature. I have used it and it works wonderfully. The size of the pack is about the same as an individually-wrapped tea bag, maybe a bit bigger. Anyway - love your videos. You have a sunny spirit and it brings us all joy. God bless you and you family.
👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
The German "Kalte Hundeschnauze" or "Kalter Hund" is a bit different. It's made of plain butter cookies and chocolate, so it sets quite hard. But the idea is the same 😋
@@Cricket_265 - thank you for that clarification. 😀 I do remember clearly that their version was made with the chocolate cookies and perhaps in their explanation of the “cake’s” name I misunderstood (or better yet, I have mis-remembered, lol) the story that went along with it. Anyway - I appreciate you giving me the German name(s). I believe they used the name “Kalte Hundeschnauze”. No matter the name, it is a definite winner as a dessert!
👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
The whispered, “You can do it, camera” was hilarious. Good pep talk!
My mother used to make this when I was a child more than 50 years ago. It was always a treat and has stood the test of time. Nice to see it again!
There’s a strawberry ice box cake and a “poor man’s eclair cake” (also an ice box cake) both made with Graham crackers that my family loves! So easy but delicious!
Fun fact, heavy cream has little to no lactose in it if you ever want some but are out of the tablets. 😋
IIRC pretty much every milk product except for milk itself is low-lactose or lactose-free
@@EnigmaticLucas yep. I’m lactose intolerant after weight loss surgery but it’s only milk and ice cream that gives me trouble. Cheese, yogurt, etc don’t bother me.
This looks like it would stack well in a loaf pan.
That's what I was thinking, too.
I love seeing these no bake cakes, thank you!
my mom made this for christmas every year as i was growing up, & now i make it for my family each year. it's my favourite!
I never knew those cookies existed and I need them. The cream was always my least favorite part of oreos. Way too sweet for me. I need to find them on my next trip to the grocery store.
We have this in Australia too, using Arnotts Chocolate Ripple cookies. We call it Chocolate Ripple cake haha. Soo yummy
Just wrote about the Ripple made with Arnotts.
No Emmy, it’s not sacrilegious. This is what an Oreo should have been and always be. No cream, just delicious crunchy chocolatey cookie! My favorite store bought cookie 😋 so glad you finally tried them and this recipe!
A day with Emmy is much brighter.. we love you x
