Icebox cake by 17 and Baking

Now that summer has arrived, the sweltering Boston heat is like an oven itself. The last thing I want to do is preheat to 350. Instead, why not make an icebox cake? Icebox cakes are layers of whipped cream and graham crackers or wafers. The cream-soaked crackers become as soft and tender as cake overnight. Between the hidden layer of fresh raspberries and the Amaretto-spiked cream, this dessert tastes as good as it looks. Nobody would guess that it came together in half an hour and is completely heat-free. With a slice of chocolate raspberry icebox cake in hand, I’m redefining summer all over again. -- Elissa Bernstein
