Grandma Smith’s Icebox Cake
From
Anne
Growing up in the
Midwest
we took an annual trip north from
Illinois to Minnesota
where we would spend a few weeks at Noka Sippi Resort near Brainerd Minnesota.
Grandma Smith would make Icebox Cake, a treat which those of us with a sweet
tooth loved.
Grandma Smith, however never wrote the Icebox Box recipe down the same, so my
mom has three versions...thought this was the most interesting since Grandma
Smith "wrote it down while she made it".
Grandma Smith’s Icebox Cake
(From Irene Smith, Brainerd, Minnesota, who said “I wrote this down just as I
made it”)
In a double boiler dissolve together:
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
dash of salt
Then add and melt:
1 square of dark chocolate
1/2 bag of semi sweet chocolate morsels
Remove from heat, let cool for 10 minutes and beat 2 whole eggs in a large bowl,
Stirring constantly slowly pour chocolate and sugar mixture into beaten eggs.
Return chocolate and beaten egg mixture to double boiler and heat, stirring
until the mixture is the consistency of custard.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Then fill the bottom of a 3” deep serving pan with
vanilla wafers, pour 1/2 chocolate mixture over the top, cover with another
layer of vanilla wafers and top with remaining chocolate mixture. Chill 2-3
hours and serve with cool whip. Estimate pan size for chilling to the best of
your ability.
