Raspberry Icebox Cake

I have made this several times before reading reviews. I follow the recipe as written and I think it is delicious. In response to other reviews here is my take. Yes a 13×9 is the correct pan size I interpreted 24 Graham crackers to be full graham crackers, it says Graham crackers not Graham crackers pieces You can absolutely use a tub of store bought whip cream and it will be delicious, but at least once make the marshmallow whipped cream, you won’t regret it. For those with thinner cakes make sure you are using the correct ounces of Jello Make the Graham crackers crust in a food processor or blender. You can crush up the crackers and then add the butter and the sugar

After reading all the comments I decided to alter a bit. Used 1/2 c butter, 1 bx. 14oz. Graham Crackers, 1 1/2 c water to boil, 24oz. of raspberries (I like Raspberries) and cool whip as stated several times. Turned out fabulous in 9×13 pan with a solid thicker crust and fruitier filling.

I made this last year, as written, except I used a springform pan and chocolate graham crackers. My review disappeared, though. This year, I used fresh peaches! Instead of jello I used a tablespoon of unflavored gelatin, 1c water, 1/2c sugar, and 1/4c freeze dried peaches that I turned into a powder in the food processor. I used 1lb fresh peaches from my tree that I peeled and diced. For the crust, I used shortbread cookies, tsp cinnamon, and a splash of almond extract. Last year my whipped topping turned out perfectly. I did something wrong this year and it was lumpy. By that point I was over it so used it anyway. Using my method of unflavored gelatin etc you can use whatever fruit you want, with fewer chemicals. Get creative! Highly recommend using a springform pan.

All my guests loved this. I made mine in a 9×13 pan. Used my own recipe for the crust with graham wafer crumbs & no sugar. Doubled the amount of filling, by using 4 pkgs of 4 serving size of diet jello & 6 cups of water. I used 500gm (16ozs) of frozen raspberries. I should have used probably another 300gms or so. For the topping I made 1 & 1/2 times the recipe. I made the whole dessert the day before I needed it & it cut into squares beautifully, when I was ready to serve it. Will definitely make this again for guests in the summer. Note: Make sure your marshmallows & milk are cool enough before adding the whipped cream as my first attempt curdled & I had to start over.

This was great, but the directions are a bit complicated. I did 6 large graham crackers (that were perforated into 4 pieces each). I am wondering if the 13X9 pan measurement is correct, because the dessert is thinner than what appears in the photo. I used strawberry jello instead of raspberry (my store was sold out of raspberry), and it still turned out tasty. I might try this again with a smaller pan.

I will follow my own grahm cracker recipe next time. I used 2 1/2 cups fresh raspberries. Pretty good, will make again.

Everyone loved it!!! But it needs a little More butter for the crumbs to stick together….

The results when using the 9 x 13 is MUCH thinner than depicted. As others have noted, not enough crumbs to cover bottom of 9 x 13. Don’t rush the steps-I tried to save time and ended up with the berry layer starting to set before the crust had cooled, and the whipped cream melting into the marshmallow. It did taste good, but using 1 cup of water instead of the 4 called for to make regular jello made the raspberry layer quite rubbery. If I were to do this again I would use 2 cups of water, a smaller pan, and use the cool whip suggested by others to save a step.

I will surely make this again! It was light, cool, and delicious.

Add blueberries

I used a chocolate graham crust, they liked it!

This was so easy and so so delicious. I used fresh blackberries that I blended and also added whole ones. Out of this world

Only change was using Cool Whip instead of whipping cream. DH loved it so much he had a 2nd piece!!!!

Great no changes needed This would be good with almost any fruits

I doubled the ingredients per other reviews to fit in a 9×13 pan better. I flubbed on the topping by not measuring the whipping cream since it was in little boxes, and assuming it was the right amount. NOPE. The topping came out more like an icing. But it tasted delicious nevertheless. I asked my wife if it was something to be made again, only with more care paid to the whipping cream, and she definitely yes. Another difference between how I made it and the recipe is that I made the crust and the raspberries on Saturday night, and ran out of energy, and made the topping on Sunday morning, leaving the pan in the fridge overnight. I didn’t see it making a difference in the outcome. Household hit. Great flavor. It put me in mind of a midwestern raspberry fluff almost.

Loved it. Made two! Raspberry and then a lemon one.

Many who reviewed it made changes and my biggest concern was finding the right size pan so that it would not be really thin. Could not find chocolate grahams so used some generic Oreo type cookies scraped off the cream and ground up the wafers in my processor. Used enough butter to make it firm when pressed into the pan. I used two 3 ounce boxes of raspberry Jell-O, One 12 ounce bag of frozen raspberries . 20 large marshmallows. I used a scalloped tin foil square..about 8×8 and it was the perfect size . I would definitely make it again because it was easy and refreshing . It’s also a dessert that no one had ever eaten before.

I agree with many of the other reviews. More butter to the crust layer or it doesn’t stick together. 1/2 cup works better. Also added more water and almost 20 oz of raspberries to make the layer thicker and cover the full 9×13 pan. I have also used an entire bag of marshmallows and added more whipping cream to thicken the top layer as well. Its a very light and tasty summer desert.

Is there a way to make this without the Jello? I’m vegetarian. It looks so good!

Way too sweet and too many preservatives in the ingredients. I’ve found that to be true of a lot of recipes on this site. There are other, healthier desserts.

made for forth of july party. was a super hit everyone loved it. will be keeping this one for sure.
