Ritz Cracker Salted Caramel Icebox Cake is a delightfully sweet and salty dessert that’s layered with creamy, caramel goodness and crunchy Ritz crackers. It’s not heavy or overly sweet either. I think it’s a perfect dessert for any time of the year, and if you’re not a fan of salted caramel, feel free to omit the salt.

It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a light & airy dessert that’s not overly sweet, you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve really been in the mood for a simple yet decadent dessert, and this dreamy cake reminds me of comfort and indulgence. Not a fan of salted caramel? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious without it.
