I like making this cake, but instead of all whipped cream, i whip the cream, then stir in mascarpone or cream cheese or creme fraiche. I think traditionally people would dip the cookies in some kind of liqueur (I've also heard of people using orange juice) before adding the whipped cream, but if you're using Famous Chocolate Wafers you're gonna have to work fast, cuz they'll start to mush almost immediately! lol You can lightly brush them once it's on the stack, if you want, or just use a different kind of cookie, either Adam's homemade ones here, or something like a Chips Ahoy. Smearing a light layer of jam or preserves before the whipped cream is nice too (I usually thin the jam with a bit a water or milk.
A layer of ganache over the whole thing (after it's set up in the fridge for a while) is a lovely & decadent addition! I first heard of this from The Stone Soup, a blog by a woman in Australia, & it's served me very well & even won me a couple prizes at family get-togethers!

Is Allform leather, or 'leather'? I ask this because, only a very small amount of true leather covered furniture is made, and it is VERY expensive. Most companies like to blatantly lie about materials and manufacturing location. So, when you do an adspot for a company, you should address the companies claims. That being said. Allform uses actual cowhide leather. Not, any of the buzzwords designed to confuse customers, and hide the true nature of the material. It is cowhide, with some of the extra thickness shaved off, and the smooth side is buffed. That's it. So, leather, in truth, not just is legally accepted term. This is what their own information states, but you can get swatches from them to verify, so it is likely true.

Continuing to call brown sugar white sugar mixed with molasses is one of those technically correct but not accurate kinda things. You can have brown cane sugar in which the molasses was never refined out of the slurry (jaggery, piloncillo, sugar in the raw, etc, refined cane sugar that then had molasses re-introduced to it (either through re-crystalizing by mixing molasses with melted refined sugar or by painting/mixing it onto the granulated stuff, or sugar from sugarbeets with molasses mixed/painted onto it. The latter of these 3 is what's most common in the US because we grow a lot of sugarbeets, but the first is super common in many parts of South America and Asia.

For those that don't want to use malted milk powder to stabilize the whipped cream, you can use 1/8 to 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar, depending on sweetness desired, per cup of heavy whipping cream, and leave out the granulated sugar. For me, the confectioner's sugar whips in better, and the bit of cornstarch in confectioner's sugar also stabilizes the whipped cream extremely well. I'll store any unused whipped cream in a sealed container in the fridge, and it remains like when I first made it for a week. I don't know if it would last longer than a week because it doesn't get a chance to sit around unused longer than that in my kitchen.

Love Adam's recipes, I don't think this one is for me. I think icebox cakes have a wonderful texture on their own, and cold mini chocolate chips tear up my mouth. If I want more contrast in my icebox cakes, I use some unsoaked cookies for crunch, but if the ratio of wafer to whipped cream is right, I get wafers with a pudding like texture that is still slightly firm and dry in the middle. They will sog out after another day or so, I just make sure there isn't any leftovers.
Milk powder (malted or otherwise) in desserts is a baller move, regardless

Looks like mini graham cracker cakes. For anyone familiar, you make pudding, you could make only one kind or a mix of kinds that go well together (family tradition is chocolate and pistachio, you spread that over the crackers and stack them together into a log, which you then cover completely in pudding, and then cover the whole thing in cool whip or whipped cream. There's a lot of leeway with flavors, we've done chocolate graham crackers and mint pudding too, despite tradition, and just straight chocolate works fine too.

its crazy that your ads seem targeted to middle class people with homes and families and full time jobs. i assume that must be your base, but im 22 and i still live with my dad while i work minimum wage so every time you have a sponsorship and its something like a 400 wine box, or a site selling multi -thousand US dollar furniture sets; when i see those i feel like i dont really understand you. maybe in 10 years when my life is a little more together ill click your allform affiliate link or whatever.

In my lifetime, this was basically the first cake I learned how to make with my grandma which helped to spark my love for basic cooking skill I d beg for it always until she taught me so I could accomplish it myself. Keep it easy though! Store-bought plain oreo wafers + real whipped cream + create a big slathered log + refrigerator = miracle treat for yourself! Bonus points if you made a playhouse fort out of the fridge box. in the basement: 3

My aunt made a Graham Cracker Icebox cake every year for Christmas, and her trick was to mix some French Vanilla Instant Pudding with the Whipped Cream (1: 1. Topped with some chocolate icing, and it was delicious.
When I made it I subbed out the icing for Nutella. The icing when cooled made a bit of a crunch texture and that was lost with the switch to Nutella but I think the flavor worked better.

Interesting recipe, I see it for the first time today. Either we didn't have it or this kind of cake has completely passed me by. Kind of reminds me of an inside-out mole cake.
And I also didn't know the trick with the milk powder either, I always use cream stiffener, a ready-made product, one packet is good for the 200g standard cup of whipped cream which you can buy here everywhere.

I've been looking for new recipes for me to use my. uh. special butter, and you KNOW I'm going to try this one. Probably going to sub baking powder for baking soda because I've had some bad experiences with cheap baking powders inevitably clumping and leaving sour bits in the finished product. Never happened before the supply chain shifts, now I'm a bit more cautious.

Multi-generational staple of any family holiday dinner however, we lay the wafers sideways to create a log, cover with the whipped cream and cut to serve on the diagonal to get the stripe effect. Just add abit of vanilla or boozy flavour you want to the cream. Discovered afew years ago that if you use spice cookies it comes out tasting like pumpkin pie.

I wish you wouldn't keep repeating the line that brown sugar is just refined white sugar with molasses added back. It's simplistic, and largely untrue outside of America. Real unrefined sugars that are common outside of the US have much more interesting flavour profiles which can impact what you make with them significantly.

How does the store sponsorship work with something you got a year ago? Did you just purchase an All Form couch a year ago and they happened to approach you about a paid video this year, did you approach them, or did you set up a deal a year ago to try out the couch and then do a sponsored video with it eventually?
