According to Glen of Glen and Friends, this is not quite correct. Some brown sugar is just granulated with molasses, but some is sugar before final refining. Since all my brown sugar is in a brown sugar saver container (bought from King Arthur and it really works), I can’t check the ingredients. And it likely depends on the store - I’m going to compare brown sugar from chain grocery, Trader Joe’s, and a local organic food chain.

For those that don't want to use malted milk powder to stabilize the whipped cream, you can use 1/8 to 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar, depending on sweetness desired, per cup of heavy whipping cream, and leave out the granulated sugar. For me, the confectioner's sugar whips in better, and the bit of cornstarch in confectioner's sugar also stabilizes the whipped cream extremely well. I'll store any unused whipped cream in a sealed container in the fridge, and it remains like when I first made it for a week. I don't know if it would last longer than a week because it doesn't get a chance to sit around unused longer than that in my kitchen.

My family makes this every year for Christmas, we use a packet of gelatin to stabilize the whipped cream. You dissolve it in water then microwave until melted, then cool slightly and add to cream before whipping. It sets up great and will last for a bit outside the fridge while people are milling around. Malted milk powder sounds like a great flavor addition though.

instant pudding powder is another good stabilizer of whipped cream. The pre-gelled cornstarch in the instant pudding powder makes the final product more stable than regular cornstarch. Plus the instant pudding powder includes the sugar.

I think, it this case, it will be worth it.

My aunt made a Graham Cracker Icebox cake every year for Christmas, and her trick was to mix some French Vanilla Instant Pudding with the Whipped Cream (1:1). Topped with some chocolate icing, and it was delicious. When I made it I subbed out the icing for Nutella. The icing when cooled made a bit of a crunch texture and that was lost with the switch to Nutella but I think the flavor worked better.

I remember making this in log form when I was a kid! Man haven't thought about this cake in forever, so nostalgic 🥲

This is something my dad always wanted to teach me how to make so thank you Adam so much for this

We were really poor as a kid and my angel of a Mum used to make this for us when my brother or I did well at school. It was such a special treat. I’m in uni now and sometimes I still make it when I’m homesick. What a wonderful recipe, I gotta try it soon!

Adam your segways into ad breaks are so smooth I'm incapable of skipping over that portion of your video.

Made an icebox cake out of these, but I'll also say that the cookies themselves are out of this world by themselves. Definitely making another batch when the holidays roll around and I need cookies for friends/family!

I loved this as a kid growing up, I'm going to give this recipe a go to bring back some childhood nostalgia!

This is the birthday cake I have every year, I'm stoked for this

I had this a bunch as a kid, always loved them! Didn’t realize it was so widespread.

this is only the second “icebox” dessert i’ve heard about. i grew up eating lemon icebox pie (which i recommend heavily) so it’ll be cool to have another icebox dessert, definitely will be trying this

I have been preaching the joys of this dessert for years! My fave version uses hard ginger cookies, dipped in sherry, coated with lightly sweetened vanilla whipped cream, topped with chocolate shavings. Second fave uses chocolate chip cookies, dipped in cold espresso.

my grandma used to make these with us with those “healthy” oreo cracker things and cool whip. we called them igloos. this vid inspired me to go make one again. lots of good memories

I love easy but delicious cake recipes!

I like making this cake, but instead of all whipped cream, i whip the cream, then stir in mascarpone or cream cheese or creme fraiche. I think traditionally people would dip the cookies in some kind of liqueur (I've also heard of people using orange juice!) before adding the whipped cream, but if you're using Famous Chocolate Wafers you're gonna have to work fast, cuz they'll start to mush almost immediately! lol You can lightly brush them once it's on the stack, if you want, or just use a different kind of cookie, either Adam's homemade ones here, or something like a Chips Ahoy. Smearing a light layer of jam or preserves before the whipped cream is nice too (I usually thin the jam with a bit a water or milk). A layer of ganache over the whole thing (after it's set up in the fridge for a while) is a lovely & decadent addition! I first heard of this from The Stone Soup, a blog by a woman in Australia, & it's served me very well & even won me a couple prizes at family get-togethers! 😁😆🤣

Malted milk in the whipped cream is a fantastic idea. A couple times my mum made a similar cake but you dip ginger nuts(gingery biscuits that are hard as rocks and amazing) in rum really quick and the build the cake with whipped cream like normal. Cause they're such hard biscuits they still have a little texture after the dip in rum and overnight soak in the whipped cream and its delicious cause rum and ginger blend so well.

Ooh, I love the original, with the store-bought wafers. This must be delicious! Will have to try it.

That was delightful, even on my meshy first try. i really appreciated the extra touches for texture.

Your kid coming by to sample the whipped cream was so cute!

The shots of Adam rolling a chocolate log are going to make for great ytp edits 👍

We call it Chocolate Ripple cake in Australia. Partly due to the fact that usually we use Arnott's Choc Ripple biscuits. Sometimes we dunk the biscuits (cookies) in coffee and some times a liqueur like a coffee liqueur just before coating them and usually laid out in a long log format.

Love Adam's recipes, I don't think this one is for me. I think icebox cakes have a wonderful texture on their own, and cold mini chocolate chips tear up my mouth. If I want more contrast in my icebox cakes, I use some unsoaked cookies for crunch, but if the ratio of wafer to whipped cream is right, I get wafers with a pudding like texture that is still slightly firm and dry in the middle. They will sog out after another day or so, I just make sure there isn't any leftovers. Milk powder (malted or otherwise) in desserts is a baller move, regardless

In Australia we've always made this using cookies (or sugar-derby's as no one here calls them). We call it "Choc Ripple Cake" as it's commonly made with store bought Arnott's Choc Ripple Biscuits. Love ya work gusea!

I make this out of Chocolate Ripple. A biscuit, or cookie to the Americans, which is from Arnotts, a super popular biscuit maker here in Australia. This is my husbands favourite "cake" and once for Valentines Day I made it into a heart shaped stack instead of the usual log, by cutting a few in half. the log shape definitely soaks the cream better than the stack, but the stack is easier to make and make look pretty, ah choices! Now I think Im going to teach my kids these "cakes" over the coming school holidays lol

Interesting recipe, I see it for the first time today. Either we didn't have it or this kind of cake has completely passed me by. Kind of reminds me of an inside-out mole cake. And I also didn't know the trick with the milk powder either, I always use cream stiffener, a ready-made product, one packet is good for the 200g standard cup of whipped cream which you can buy here everywhere.

I have never heard of this. I’m going to try it out!

Oh my gosh this looks and sounds AMAZING!!

I've never heard of icebox cake before, but this looks delicious.

My mom makes this sometimes, she uses alternating plain/vanilla and chocolate butter biscuits from the store and covers them either in plain yogurt or sour cream. The biscuits are square, so the logs have kind of a funny shape, I'll have to make it with her again sometime

This makes about a pint but I doubled it to fit my machine better. To make the candied chips, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup in a 1:1/2:1/4 ratio. I used 100, 50, 25 grams. Melt in microwave until pretty warm and coat your chip pieces. Then bake at 300 F for about 15 min. To make the pretzel grit, I did the same thing just left out the corn syrup and added the sugar and some salt to 200 grams crushed pretzels. Then add melted butter and toss before baking at 325F until fragrant.

Oh I am SO going to make this!!

I'm gonna keep that malted milk idea in my back pocket! At my job, I help make foods for a variety of diets- including pureed foods. If a savory food is too watery, we use instant potato flakes to help thicken it to a more appropriate texture. I never really knew what could be used for thickening desserts (once they're in the food processor at least). I'm gonna have to try malted milk powder. It looks like it helps just a bit, which is sometimes all that's needed.

in my house its known as "Chocolate Ripple Cake" because we've made wit Arnott's Chocolate Ripple since forever. We also do it horizontally. It's my Dad's favourite cake.

The aversion to turning on oven and heating up the house in the heat of summer I believe is why this ice box cakes became so popular. But I think this might be worth it.

Man that Voyage Home reference made my day

When I was a kid, we would make something similar with graham crackers and chocolate pudding for the internal layers. I bet this would be good with a butterscotch pudding for the internal layers instead of just the whipped cream.

"Sloppy summertime oreo snowball" is a phrase I won't forget as quickly as I'd like.

Strawberry Graham cake! Bag of berries, melted, blended smooth with one pack of strawberry gelatine. Mix into whipped cream (or cool whip). Layer that with graham crackers, many layers. I use parchment-lined loaf pans.

I've been looking for new recipes for me to use my...uh... special butter, and you KNOW I'm going to try this one. Probably going to sub baking powder for baking soda because I've had some bad experiences with cheap baking powders inevitably clumping and leaving sour bits in the finished product. Never happened before the supply chain shifts, now I'm a bit more cautious.
