Carrot Icebox Cake
The final day of my Easter Series! I knew I had to make a dessert, but I just wasn’t going to make a traditional carrot cake. I kept passing these ginger cookies at Trader Joe’s (you can use any ginger cookie you have access to) and just knew there was something there. My mind instantly went to those icebox cakes that my grandmother used to make. Icebox cakes are perfect since they are fully assembled the day before - freeing up precious time the day of! Utilizing a carrot walnut filling (only sweetened with maple syrup!) was a no brainer to make this icebox cake a carrot cake! The whipped cream has tons of texture and carrot cake flavor thanks to the whole block of cream cheese we use. It’s everything you want in a carrot cake, but with like 20% of the effort. I utilized a food processor to make my life even easier, but if you don't have one you can still do this all by hand!
