This s’mores icebox cake is a refreshing take on the classic campfire treat! Start by making a filling out of whipped heavy cream, marshmallow fluff and mini marshmallows. Then, melt chocolate chips by mixing them with boiling heavy cream to make a ganache. Spread the marshmallow filling on the bottom of a parchment-lined baking dish. Then add a layer of chocolate ganache, followed by a layer of graham crackers. Repeat this process one more time. Then chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Flip the cake onto a tray. Then decorate it with whipped cream, marshmallows, crushed graham crackers and chocolate ganache.

4. Two-ingredient Oreo icebox cake

This easy-to-make two-ingredient icebox cake proves that some desserts are truly greater than the sum of their parts! Simply whip one cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Optionally, at this point, you can add in sugar or vanilla yogurt to sweeten up the cream. Then mix crushed Oreo cookies into the whipped cream. Spread the whipped cream onto the bottom of a baking dish. Then layer several times with whole Oreos and more whipped cream. If you’re feeling fancy, add a drizzle of chocolate and some Oreo crumbles to the top. Then refrigerate for at least three hours.

5. Mexican hot chocolate icebox cake

This might just be the ultimate icebox cake for chocolate lovers! Start by making a filling out of whipped cream, hot chocolate mix, cayenne and cinnamon. Spread the whipped cream onto the bottom of a baking dish. Then layer several times with Nilla wafer cookies and more chocolate whipped cream. Refrigerate for six hours and serve!
