I had a sudden craving for dessert today and all I could think about was the refrigerator cake my grandmother used to make with crushed Grahams and popped in the fridge until set. I used to make this in college a lot for holidays when an easy no bake dessert was all I knew what to make. I was going to make it the usual way I knew how– mix thick cream and condensed milk with a whisk and crush some Graham crackers but I did something different this time. I used Digestive cookies uncrushed because it’s the lazy easiest way and I don’t have to melt butter and make a crust out of crumbs. I just layered it nicely and the Digestives turned out soft after refrigerating.
Took me about 20 minutes in all to prepare and assemble a small pan of peach float (some would call it refrigerator cake). Ideally you should let it sit in the fridge overnight night but because I like it a little soft I popped it into the freezer for 30 minutes (the Digestives were still crunchy).
