Icebox Cake-by Helen Rooks

Holidays were a veritable feast around our house growing up.  There were a few dishes you could always count on being served.  We never grew tired of some of these simple recipes and I hope future generations will love them too!!

This particular recipe was one of my Mom’s 'go to', recipes for every event.  She was extremely picky about the cookies.  We always had to use Hydrox, NEVER Oreo.  Always Nilla Wafers by Nabisco and never the ‘other’ brand. 

I must admit, I have lived in some places that just didn’t carry the ‘must’ have brands and I have had to resort to using the taboo ingredients.

I am pretty certain no one noticed and it all came out delicious….sorry Mom…



Ingredients-

1 pkg  Hydrox  chocolate cream filled cookies (Oreos)
1 Box Nilla wafers (Vanilla Wafers)
2 small bananas, peeled and sliced in to ¼ inch slices
1 small carton cool whip
1 small jar maraschino cherries
1 cup pecan halves

Grind in a grinder or food processor both packages of cookies, mix together and press into a 9” x 11” casserole dish. 

Add sliced bananas, cover entire cookie surface

Spread cool whip on top

Cut Cherries in half and alternate cherry halves and pecans in rows 1” apart down the length of the dish this should give you roughly 3 long rows.


Refrigerate overnight-
