Bourbon-Peach Icebox Cake

Is there something higher than recent summer time peaches? We’ve reworked them — together with selfmade peach jam and an ethereal whipped cream combination — into a surprising no-bake icebox cake. When layered with store-bought buttery pecan cookies, brushed with bourbon for a boozy pop, every slice is crammed with crumbly, buttery texture. Dollops of candy peach jam studded all through present bursts of concentrated peach taste that complement the brightness from the recent peaches for double the peach taste. In contrast to most icebox desserts, this model makes use of cream cheese and crème fraîche for a tangy steadiness and added stability, serving to the cake maintain its form for longer. 

For a taller, extra dramatic cake, use an 8-inch springform pan, or go for a 9-inch cake pan for a barely wider model. Brief on time? Retailer-bought peach jam works simply as effectively.

What’s an icebox cake?

An icebox cake is a no-bake cake, usually made in a cake pan or baking dish, with layers of chilled whipped cream, cookies, and different mix-ins. 

How lengthy do icebox desserts take to set?

Icebox desserts usually want at the very least 4 hours to set, however the longer they chill, the firmer they grow to be. This recipe recommends chilling for at least 4 hours and as much as 12 hours.

Notes from the Meals & Wine Check Kitchen

Pepperidge Farm Butter Pecan Cookies can be found at most grocery shops or on-line at amazon, however it’s also possible to substitute it with any skinny store-bought spherical butter cookie or shortbread cookie. You can even omit the bourbon for an alcohol-free dessert.
