Vanilla Wafer Icebox Fruitcake

Vanilla Wafer Icebox Fruitcake. A no bake cake made with vanilla wafers, sweetened condensed milk, nuts and candied fruits.

Ingredients

  • 1 box vanilla wafers
  • 1 14 ounce can Eagle Brand condensed milk
  • 2 cups dark raisins or about half of a 20 ounce can
  • 15 ounces chopped walnuts
  • 1 10 ounce jar maraschino cherries, chopped (optional owing to your budget)

Instructions

  • Pour vanilla wafers into a plastic storage bag and crush with a rolling-pin (don't throw that bag away!) Texture is a matter of choice. Dawn prefers chunks of cookies. Miss Judy crushes hers to a powder. Empty crushed cookies into a bowl.
  • Prepare box as show above.
  • Add condensed milk to the wafers. Stir slightly.
  • Add remaining ingredients and mix well with hands.
  • Pack into the prepared box. Smooth it out and work it into the corners.
  • Close flap and tape just enough to hold it closed. Slip box back into the storage bag used to crush the cookies. Store in refrigerator overnight before slicing.
  • Keep refrigerated and store in plastic bag to keep it from drying out.
