Here are some commonly asked questions
Why use NILLA Wafers?
While traditional icebox cakes are made with crackers or cookies, I love making mine with delicious NILLA Wafer Cookies because they are like a cross between crackers & cookies. They are crispy vanilla-flavored wafers with just a touch of sweetness, making them perfect to pair with whip topping & strawberries.
While the most common NILLA pairing is with banana pudding, which is absolutely delicious, they really do pair well with just about anything.
I picked up all these ingredients at my local Fred Meyer, but you can find them at any Kroger Family of Stores.
What holidays do you recommend this recipe for?

What is icebox cake?
An icebox cake is a dessert consisting of whipped cream & cookie wafers along with other additional flavors added for variety. The idea is that you layer these ingredients together & the wafers become softened once refrigerated, giving them a cake like consistency.
