Description
A rich and creamy no-bake icebox cake layered with chocolate graham crackers, coffee liqueur, and whipped cream, finished with toasted coconut and chocolate shavings.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 14 ounces chocolate graham crackers (1 box)
- 14 tablespoons Kahlua coffee liqueur, divided
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, divided
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ounces dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream, sugar, 6 tablespoons Kahlua, and vanilla extract until firm peaks form. Fold in 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
- Pour the remaining 8 tablespoons Kahlua into a shallow dish. Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving overhang on all sides. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom.
- Dip graham crackers into the Kahlua, coating both sides, then trim to fit and layer in the pan. Spread another layer of whipped cream over the crackers.
- Repeat layering dipped crackers and cream until you have 5 layers of crackers. Finish with a smooth cream layer on top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Refrigerate the remaining whipped cream. Toast 1/2 cup coconut in a skillet over medium heat until golden, then cool.
- Use a vegetable peeler to shave the dark chocolate for garnish.
- Once frozen, invert the cake onto a platter and remove plastic wrap. Frost with remaining whipped cream, then top with toasted coconut and chocolate shavings. Freeze until ready to serve.
Notes
- Keep the cake tightly wrapped if storing longer than 12 hours to prevent freezer burn.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Kahlua with strong brewed coffee or chocolate milk.
- Allow the cake to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing for easier serving.
- Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 3 days.
