When we talk about simple pleasures, icebox cake always comes to mind. This no-bake treat straight out of our grandmothers' playbooks traditionally consists of thin, crisp chocolate wafers tucked between fluffy layers of whipped cream. Stacked high and chilled overnight, the dessert that emerges from the refrigerator in the morning is airy yet sliceable, laced with wafer crumbs that have softened thanks to the whip. Perfect as it is in its simplest incarnation, the concept also works beautifully with new combinations of flavors and cookie textures. From a latte-inspired icebox cake for all the caffeine fiends out there to an elegant peach-and-graham cracker version fit for a summer soiree, here are six beautiful ways to bring back the icebox cake.

Consider this no-bake dessert the layered cheesecake of your dreams. It's simple to make, but packed with complex flavors — alternating bites of cookie butter-cream cheese, speculoos cookies (think spiced shortbread meets a biscuit cookie) and apricot preserves. A little extra plastic wrap helps you unmold the cake easily.

The famous Brooklyn Blackout Cake is traditionally made with layers of rich chocolate cake, filled with chocolate pudding and covered with cake crumbs. This no-bake version has all of the same decadent chocolate components — and you don't need to turn on the oven.
