Icebox Fruit cake - Easy Fruit Cake - No Bake Fruit Cake

[@suelott9612]

HELLO TAMMY.... I MADE YOUR GRANNY'S ICEBOX FRUITCAKE FOR CHRISTMAS...... YOU SAID THAT IT WOULD LAST A MONTH IN THE REFRIGERATOR..... WELL.... MINE ONLY LASTED THREE DAYS !!!! EVERYONE LOVED IT !!!! IT WAS SOOOO DELICIOUS..... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! YOUR MISSISSIPPI FRIEND ❤

[@thresiaross36]

Brings tears to my eyes... My granny always made them for Christmas and always made sure I had some to take home with me. Thank you

[@denisepope8599]

You can make with vanilla wafers or saltine crackers and sweet and condensed milk. There are so many variations. I love my mom’s 30 pound fruit cake with all the candied red and green cherries, and pecans. That is all that is in it except the flour and fixings. An alcoholic beverage is poured over a cheesecloth to moisten it for a couple of weeks before we cut it on Christmas Day. It is the BEST Fruit Cake. My husband would never eat fruit cake until he ate my Mom’s. And no, you don’t get drunk on it. It just moistens it and is a preservative. My mom cooks I around Thanksgiving and add a little alcohol over I once a week.

I'm 66 years old and this has been a favorite fruit cake in our family, for a few generations. Thank you for sharing..I also love watching your videos.

You must have been a fly on the wall of my kitchen....my sister and I were talking about this yesterday and as I was going through my Mama’s cookbook, I came across the recipe! So many good recipes and sweet memories., she would make this and make mini loaves for our elementary teachers, some 50+ years ago. She was a treasure, thanks for sharing!

This was the only fruitcake my mom liked and she made them when we were little. My sister and I helped, because it is a bit of a process. I am now 71 and have never seen this recipe in print. Thank you so much for this fabulous childhood memory! I have saved and sent to my sister. Loads of hugs!

[@cathygaddy3773]

We make this with a can of sweeten condensed milk instead of the marshmallows. Also we lined the graham cracker box with foil or waxed paper and packed the cake back in the box. Refrigerate. And oh so Yummy!

[@two4u443]

Miss Cathy...saw your post. So did you use 1 can of sweet condensed milk verses Miss Tammy's marshmallows and 2 sticks butter? I would really like to make this. I appreciate your help!♥️😁👍

[@cathygaddy3773]

yes.

[@cathygaddy3773]

[@jarendagarner9488]

I don't care for fruit cake but this looks delicious! I love that it doesn't have candied fruit in it.

[@user-du7pe6pm7d]

my mother made this without fruit except raisins and without the cherry juice - she used marshmallows and whole milk and pecans - no butter of any kind -- it was much better than store bought fruit cakes - and butter or especially margarine is not very healthy at all -- it really didn't taste like they do at all - but it was very good - more like some kind of cookie or bar stuff - it was delicious -- yu may like trying that one - it was quite unique at Christmas time - I have had every kind I can find to try and or buy - they are not nearly as good as the one she made without all the other stuff - she kept hers in a Pyrex glass container in the fridge - 70 years later i still crave it -- ahahaha - i would think they have it on yutube - I have it anyway - i still make it at that time - and other times also - ahahahaha - I put every nut and seed I can get ahold of in mine -- ahahaha - cranberries sometimes even - for that twang they give after they are soaked in exotic rum for a couple of days --- hehehehehehe - I never try to do the exact same thing twice -- ahahaha - I am from the Hippie generation - so life is different for me -- hehehehe - just ask if needed - I like cherrys - I may just soak some of them -- hahahahaha

[@nitalooney1259]

Thanks, Tammy! You always have the the best, most informative cooking shows! The way I was brought up! My momma use to make this cake, and I had lost the recipe. Thanks for sharing it here! You make everything look so easy! NITA

[@cherylvalentine693]

I have to try this I’m a fruitcake lover 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lindajenkins3929]

Mrs.Tammy, my granny and mom would always make fruit cakes at Christmas for all of us grandchildren. My sweet granny had 13 children! And she wouldn't have money to buy gifts for all her children and their children so, she always made fruit cakes for each family. My mom was the only daughter that would help her so .That is how I learned how to make fruit cake. Thanks for sharing great memories. Have a blessed weekend 🙏

[@patc.318]

Hi Tammy! My aunt makes this each Christmas, too! She always sends one to us along with a full gallon of her homemade boiled custard! Thanks for the recipe and another video!! Have a blessed and Merry Christmas! !

[@sheliaadams5971]

[@lynnharrell9598]

My mother in law made this every year. This stuff is delicious and can be quite addictive. Even if you do not like traditional baked fruitcake, there is big chance that you will like this. It has a fudge like consistency. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@marillynsargent57]

This cake is very close to our family ice box fruit cake but with a few differences. There were three of us kids, so mom sat us down around thanksgiving and gave each of us a pair of scissors and an ingredient to cut up. Marshmallows, only the large ones, pitted dates, cherries, the kind in the bottle with liquid. She drained the cherries and saved the juice . Then she used a rolling pin to make crumbs out of a whole box of graham crackers. when we all had our ingredients ready, they were combined in a large bowl, using the cherry juice,the graham cracker crumbs and the cut up marshmallows, cut up dates and cut up cherries. This was a sticky mess. But then she made three logs out of it and rolled each log in more dry crumbs. She the rolled each log in wax paper and refrigerated them until Christmas. It took that long to dry out enough to slice. Before she served them she decorated each one with cut up candied cherries to look like poinsettias across the top. I once tried to make it with miniature marshmallows and it didn't work. You need the cut ones to help hold it together.

[@lawannamorgan8771]

Looks so good! My mom made an ice box fruit cake and this was her recipe... Ice Box Fruit Cake 1 lb. marshmallows, melted 1 box vanilla wafers, crushed 1 small can coconut 1 can condensed milk 3 small bottles of cherries Nuts as you like Mix all ingredients & put in refrigerator overnight. Wrap in tin foil or wax paper...

[@jcdbrw]

This is the one I remember. Vanilla wafers! Thank you

[@Gggls844]

My mother use to use orange slice candy and anything that she earned to put in that would be good and then put in a bunt pant.

[@melissamccool8953]

I made the icebox fruitcake today and my husband and I love it. I plan to take some to a church dinner tomorrow. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Love you Tammy.

Never heard of this fruitcake - no bake. Interesting.

[@susanlunsford4352]

My husband and I make a similar version of this fruitcake every Christmas. Everyone loves it. We make smaller "logs" and give them to family and friends. This year we made 18! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@conniemoore3207]

Thanks. My Mama used to make this every Christmas. I've been looking for the recipe. She passed away in 1999.

[@jeanreynolds993]

Never heard of this, but will definitely try it.

[@marylour253]

My Mother made a fruit cake similar to this every Christmas. When she passed away we didn’t know how to make it. Years after her death I came across the recipe. My brothers and sister were so happy. In Moms recipe you add spices cinnamon, nutmeg,cloves and ginger, candied fruits, candied cherries ,dates and nuts. This is why I love your channel because you truly do cook like Momma Did! Merry Christmas! May God Bless you and your family this new year!

[@mycelticstardust]

Omg, my mom made this . I not find her recipe. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas!

[@Kathycnca]

I am so happy to have this recipe. A women used to bring it to work because it was a gift her family didn't like. I love it, kind of a candy really. I think there may have been some kind of pineapple on it too, not candied though. Thanks for another great recipe.
