Coconut Berry Icebox Cake

This red, white, and blue make ahead no bake Coconut Berry Icebox Cake is the perfect summer time dessert for a Memorial Day or Fourth of July potluck. Thank you Self Proclaimed Foodie


14 ounces unsweetened coconut cream
½ cup confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon coconut rum
1 cup heavy whipping cream
9 ounces coconut cookies (or graham crackers)
1 pound blueberries (fresh )
1 pound strawberries (fresh, sliced very thin)

  • To make cream filling, start by whipping coconut cream in bowl of stand mixer with whisk attachment on medium speed until it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. 
  • Add confectioners sugar and mix on low until incorporated. 
  • Add coconut rum and mix on low until combined. 
  • Scrape sides, add heavy whipping cream, mix on low to incorporate and then increase speed to medium high for about a minute. 
  • Scrape walls and base of bowl
  • Continue mixing on medium high speed until nice peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  • To make the cake, spread some cream on the base of the plate. 
  • Arrange cookies so that their sides are touching but they do not over lap. 
  • Cover cookies with a spoonful of cream, using the spatula to spread. 
  • Top with a second layer of cookies, rotating their pattern to cover any gaps
  • Follow with a layer of cream. 
  • Thickness in between layers should be thick enough so that there is a creamy layer in between, but not so thick that your ingredients aren't level or they slide around.
  • Cover with a single layer of fresh blueberries. 
  • Top with cream, then top with two cookie/cream layers.
  • Next, cover with a single layer of sliced strawberries. Top with cream, then top with two cookie/cream layers.
  • Repeat until you run out of ingredients. I portioned everything so that my top and bottom layers would be the cookies surrounded by the cream.
  • Garnish with additional berries on top.
  • Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two hours or up to several days before serving.
