What is an Icebox Cake?

There are tons of different varieties of icebox cakes, but normally an icebox cake involves layers of cookies or wafers and whipped cream.

Sometimes these cakes will have fruit, nuts or other toppings mixed into the layers as well.

Icebox cakes are no bake, but come together by setting in the fridge or freezer for several hours after assembly. 

What is Tiramisu?

So now that you know what an icebox cake is, let’s talk about tiramisu.

Tiramisu is an Italian dessert consisting of layers of coffee soaked, sponge cake like cookies called ladyfingers and layers of sweet whipped marscapone cheese.

Marscapone cheese is a very mild, creamy Italian cream cheese.

Sometimes you’ll see variations on this dessert that used whipped cream instead of the marscapone filling between layers.

This chocolate chip cookie icebox tiramisu is a variation of tiramisu that substitutes chocolate chip cookies for the ladyfingers.
