Let’s dive into the recipe and discover how to create this mouthwatering Vanilla Cream Icebox Cake that will leave everyone craving for more.

The Creamy Filling

To create the velvety cream filling, you will need whole milk, corn starch, egg yolks, sugar, butter, vanillin, and a pinch of salt. These ingredients come together to form a rich and smooth cream that will be the star of this delectable cake.

Whipped Cream Topping

For the light and fluffy whipped cream topping, we will use plant-based cream and a touch of vanillin. This delightful addition adds a creamy and airy texture that perfectly complements the creamy filling.

The Base – Biscuits

The foundation of this cake is made of biscuits, specifically Miranda biscuits. These biscuits provide a delightful crunch and absorb the flavors of the cream and milk, resulting in a heavenly texture.

Cooking the Cream for the Icebox cake

In a large pot, combine the milk, corn starch, sugar, egg yolks, vanillin, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until it thickens into a smooth cream. Remove from heat and add the butter, stirring until fully melted. Transfer the cream to a bowl and cover it with cling film, ensuring direct contact with the cream. Refrigerate for an hour to set.

Whipping the Cream

Using a mixer, beat the plant-based cream and vanillin until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency. The whipped cream will add an extra layer of indulgence to our Vanilla Cream Icebox Cake.

Assembling the Vanilla Cream Icebox Cake

Building the Layers: Begin by dunking each biscuit into milk for a second, allowing it to absorb the moisture. Place a layer of biscuits in a square cake ring, followed by a layer of the creamy filling. Repeat this process, alternating layers of biscuits and cream until the desired height is achieved.

Finishing Touches

Pipe a layer of whipped cream on top of the final layer of biscuits, creating a beautiful and delicious finish. Sprinkle some cocoa powder over the whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence and visual appeal.

Serving and Enjoying

Chilling and Serving: Once assembled, refrigerate the Vanilla Cream Icebox Cake for at least 4 hours or overnight. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a harmonious and delightful dessert. When ready to serve, remove the cake ring and cut into generous slices, placing them on individual dessert plates.
