And these lovely treats are Icebox cupcakes with homemade chocolate wafers. If you've ever tasted the original circa 1930's icebox cake, this is a individual sized portion of the wonderful classic. Essentially a chocolate wafer cookie and whipped cream cake (traditionally Nabisco brand wafers). Housewives in the 30's created the recipe by stacking the wafers sandwiched with sweet whipping cream and allowed to sit in the icebox for a day or two so the wafers soften into a cake like consistency. I love the nostalgia behind the cake. It's also wonderfully delicious and I imagine it will be even tastier with my homemade chocolate wafers. I hope you enjoy it.
