It’s the most wonderful time of the year….
When the wafers are back, the cream is whipped, the sprinkles are out…let’s cheer!
This cake is going to make your life easier.
To start, it only involves three ingredients, you don’t need an oven and it’s completely fat-free!
Hah! You’re right. I’m a no-good dirty liar.
These little cakes are not fat free, but they will make your life easier. In my world, cream is considered it’s own food group.
Tell me this: is there anything better in life than whipping up a cake with only three ingredients in five minutes flat, then sitting in your sweatpants on the couch with said cake in your lap?
Personal Sized Chocolate Icebox Cakes
makes 4 mini cakes
16 Nabisco chocolate wafers
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
Whip cream with vanilla. Sandwich between four stacks of wafers (with four wafers in each little stack). Cover the outside of the cakes in cream and cover with sprinkles.
Chill in fridge (or freezer) for at least an hour and a half before eating.
It’s going to be a good night.

oh my gosh, i don’t even care if you’re a dirty liar…i’m going with calorie-free please and thank you!
Wow those look unbelievable! I love personalized size/mini treats of any kind – ESPECIALLY when they only have 3 ingredients!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen chocolate wafers like that in the store. I will be on the lookout, because my hubs would love this personal pan cake.
YUMMMMMMMMM..
umm…you’re a genius.
It’s going to be a good morning!
Personal size anything rocks my world.
YUM! I have to add this to my Holiday must makes!!!
where did you find those wafers??
just at my grocery store–they always come out around this time of year…check your cookie section!
I usually find these lovely cookies by the ice cream sundae fixins. The wafers make a great cheesecake crumb base too.
Hi Jenna,
Fabulous! I NEED those very sprinkles that you used on these mini-cakes. Where did you find them…????!!!!!
at my regular grocery store in with the sugar and flour!
It’s like you’ve read my mind! Just saw these cookies in the store for the first time this past weekend! Can’t wait to try them – thanks!!
i LOVE icebox cake!! My mom uses those same cookies, but she usually does one big long one, with it lying on its side. I think it’s an especially good summer cake since it’s cold
You did it again. HOW do you do this?!?! Haha… more like WHYYYYY…. need more time in the gym to work off these calories!!!
Thank you, again, for this lovely dessert.
but its so good once it hits your lips!!
ha, i love it
genius!
I love this idea.
Yum! What a great looking treat.
You have too many recipes that I can’t choose which ones to go with. I can’t do them all at this time of year – there’s not enough room in my freezer or stomach!
interestingly enough i have 2 packages of those wafers waiting for me in my kitchen!
I love that these are personal desserts. I can’t wait to eat one all by myself!
These are so beautiful! And so (surprisingly?) cupcake-like…
Yay! It’s an icebox babycake! We love!
OMG YES: “When the wafers are back, the cream is whipped, the sprinkles are out…let’s cheer!”
I have never bought those wafers before, only Oreos. This is like making your own Oreo, except wayyyy better…hello real cream frosting, sprinkles,…oh, drool! I Love IT!!
Adorable. Sprinkles make everything better.
Simple, delicious, and festive!
My friend and I totally used to make a cake like this back in 8th grade! And then we may or may not have polished the whole thing off in one sitting.
You mean I have to WAIT a FULL hour & a half before I can eat? Blasphemy
lol
Good thing I “need” to go to the store right now.
in theory. I didn’t wait because I have absolutely zero self control.
Well, I did it. I made one of these today & am in love. So so good!!!! I ate it right out of the freezer & it was gone in 10.45 seconds!
zomg. these look incredible! and delicious! and sooooo easy! therefore, i love
THANK YOU for sharing this!!!! I know what dessert’s going to be created in my kitchen next
Mmm.
I love those sprinkles!
Really cute! I love homemade whipped cream
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Sprinkles make any day just that much better
Too cute! I love personal-sized desserts because it feels so decadent to eat an entire cake.
That looks so decadent (and easy)!
Oh these are adorable, my family will love these (um they’ll be more for me, though). Shhh.
Frozen goodies are so underrated this time of year! And sprinkles just takes it to the next level! Love.
These are so cute! Like Little Debbie Cakes but way, way better.
P.S. I made your cinnamon toast muffins yesterday! How did you not burn your fingers dipping the just-out-of-the-oven muffins into the sugar? Regardless, they made my sick friend very happy. Even when sick, he’s manly enough to state his love for baked goods.
Holy yum! This looks incredible!
You had me at rainbow sprinkles and heavy cream.
Mmmmm! Those look like little bites of heaven!
I *love* three ingredient recipes. And clearly also cream. Great idea, this.
Yet ANOTHER dish from you I must immediately make! And then run 203948 miles…mmmmm…creeeam…
Holy YUMMMMM! I want some of these now… with extra sprinkles lol
DEEEELISH! These are adorable! I musy admit that one of my favorite holiday treats are the little debbie cakes shaped like christmas trees with white icing and spinkles…heaven!
ah… these take me back to childhood… my mom would make them for her bunco parties, and we got to eat one beforehand…
always my favorite treat!
Now, if only they were gluten and dairy free.
Le sigh.
I need to come up with my own version.
Only in a perfect world…
Christie, I was thinking the same thing! I’m going to scope out the gluten free cookies at my grocery and try to come up with a version. I can’t help but wonder if they’d be delish with coconut ice cream sandwiched in between too!
Wow that looks amazing. Im drooling over here. Im sure it tastes even better than it looks!
i have NO WORDS for what those look like! what a brilliant idea!!!!!!!!
xoxoo
sara
I’m making these tomorrow. I have company coming over and everyone needs to have their own cake. I think it makes life more special.
our brain cells need fat. end of story.
I lust over your blog on a daily basis.
Looks amazing! Your recipes are always great!
Too easy, too dangerous…you are my hero
this is my favourite dessert! its a traditional christmas dessert for my family. i love how you added the sprinkles . . . sprinkles make everything better. thanks for posting.
This is my dad’s favorite dessert!
so cool,..
My mom used to make the large version of that cake all the time. I had completely forgotten how good it was and now must harp on her until she makes it again ASAP
adorable

I like the colourful hundreds and thousands on top, reminds me of the iced sponge cake we used to have at school!
I did it! I made these tonight, and I’m in love.
I used Pamela’s gluten-free cookies since I can’t have the wafers, and they turned out so great.
So excited that I finally had the chance to make one of your desserts!
oh man these look so yummy – thinking of making them for my boys!
Wow! These look awesome!
This looks AMAZING. Much safer than making a regular ice box cake and eating the entire thing!
