Red, White & Blue Dessert

Okay... Okay...

So technically 

blackberries are not blue

(purple maybe?)

~blueberries would work too~

here is the 5 minute

(construction time)

recipe for 

Graham Cracker Icebox Cake

(crazy easy)

All you need is:

Graham Crackers

Whipped Cream

Berries (your choice)

and

Chocolate sauce (optional)

I used strawberries & blackberries

it would be very tasty

with  any fruit of your choice

the trick to Icebox cakes is layering

*all you have to do is *

1. layer of crackers

2. layer of whipped cream

3. layer of fruit

4. another layer of cream

5. repeat until satisfied

(or out of fruit)

6. refrigerate for atleast 2 hours

so that the crackers 

soak up

the whipped cream

7. top with chocolate sauce

*i made mine from scratch*

~but really there are no rules here~

~Icebox cakes rank pretty high~

in our house for dessert

*no oven required*

Ice cream is happiness condensed. ~Jessi Lane Adams

Dear Patio,

       I really enjoy having a cup of coffee in the sunshine with
you. But it might be time to update your look from beach chairs
to something more adult. Here are my suggestions for the fast
approaching summer season.

All my Love,
