Icebox cakes are sort of the less fussy cousin of of Trifles and Charlottes. These quick desserts lean on store-bought graham crackers for their structure. For the filling, we lean on our Blueberry Ginger Sauce for some big, beautiful berry sweetness. Cool, refreshing plus it’s prepped ahead of time. What’s not to love?
