No-Bake Berry Crumble Icebox Cake

Here in Canada today is Victoria Day. It’s one of those holidays that is only sort of a holiday, with many people still having to work and not getting to enjoy a long weekend. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate in your own way – and a special dessert is always a great way to celebrate (in my books anyway)!

And what’s even better, is this recipe is really quick to make so you can even throw it together while supper is cooking and it’ll be eat to eat once you’re finished eating. How great is that!?

The original recipe comes from the Nature’s Path website and can be found here, I only made a couple changes which I’ve listed below:

  • since there are only two of us, I cut the recipe in half
  • because I cut the recipe in half I didn’t have the right sized pan so I made them into individual portions in ramekins
  • I didn’t have strawberries so I swapped them for blueberries
  • I use vanilla greek yogurt and left out the vanilla extract

The most difficult part of the recipe is mixing up the cream cheese filling, and even that is pretty easy. From start to finish it took me no more than 15 minutes to prepare, while still looking pretty impressive!

I gave the extra two servings to my parents and my mother wanted to know what I used for the crust because she thought it was tastier than a graham cracker crust. The magic ingredient was Nature’s Path Cornflakes! Who would have guessed? Not me!

Did you know that this year marks Nature’s Path’s 30th Anniversary?

With only $7 in their pockets and a $1500 loan, in 1967 Nature’s Path co-founders opened Canada’s very first vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver, BC. Nature’s Path later started out of the back of their restaurant in 1985 and their first ever product was Fruit Juice Sweetened Corn Flakes (those same corn flakes used in this recipe!).

Nature’s Path believes in leaving the earth better than they found it, which is why they’ve been making delicious organic food for 30 years. They see the promise of a bright organic future, and as a token of our appreciation, rather than receiving birthday gifts they are giving gifts to you!

    Fresh berry crumbles and cobblers are my absolute favorite! Somehow, they just manage to capture the essence of summer in each bite.

    I love fresh fruit in the summer – maybe with a dollop of non-dairy whip. 😀
    (Can I also claim a hot dog roasted over an open fire as a dessert??)

    My favourite is strawberry shortcake. It tastes decadent but if you use angel food cake and milk it doesn’t break the caloric bank (and it tastes REALLY good when the strawberry juices mingle with the milk and get sopped up by the angel food cake. Just sayin’!) 🙂

    It would have to be a tie between fresh peach pie or just a simple plain bowl of blueberries.

    My favourite is apple crisp! Especially later on when we get fresh Ontario apples from the farmers market and serve it with vanilla ice cream…
