Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups dairy-free whipped topping
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 2 cups of dairy-free whipped topping, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips, 1 cup of crushed graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free whipped topping and the powdered sugar. Use a spatula or a whisk to mix them together until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips. You can do this by placing them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted. Alternatively, you can melt them using a double boiler on the stove.
- Once the chocolate chips are melted, allow them to cool slightly before adding them to the whipped topping mixture. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped topping until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Next, slowly pour in the almond milk while continuing to gently fold the mixture. This will help to create a creamy texture for your cake.
- In a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a similar-sized container, create a layer at the bottom using half of the crushed graham crackers. Spread half of the chocolate mixture over the graham crackers evenly.
- Repeat the layering process by adding the remaining crushed graham crackers on top of the chocolate mixture, followed by the rest of the chocolate mixture. Smooth the top layer with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- Once assembled, cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow the cake to freeze for at least 4 hours or until it is firm.
- After the cake has frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before slicing.
- To serve, slice the cake into 8 equal portions and enjoy your delicious dairy-free freezer cake!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare the Dairy Free Freezer Cake a day in advance. It needs at least 4 hours to freeze, so making it the night before ensures it’s ready to serve when you need it.
- Melt Chocolate Carefully: When melting the dairy-free chocolate chips, be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning. If using a microwave, heat in short bursts and check frequently.
- Layer with Love: For a beautiful presentation, make sure your layers are even. Use a spatula to smooth out the chocolate mixture and create a nice finish on top.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to customize your cake! Add a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor boost. You could even mix in some dairy-free peanut butter for a delicious twist.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch, serve the slices with fresh berries or a drizzle of dairy-free chocolate sauce. This will elevate the dessert and make it even more appealing!
