Icebox Fruitcake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 box Nilla Wafers
1 cup coarse chopped dates
1 cup raisins
1 cup coarse chopped Brazil nuts
1 cup coarse chopped pecans
1 cup coarse chopped walnuts
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk

Preparation

Crush cookies until VERY fine. Add dates, raisins and nuts. Stir in milk. mix well. It will be very sticky and a bit yucky looking, but don't let this bother you. Line a loaf pan with wax paper. Put mixture in pan, cover with wax paper and press. The harder you pack it down, the better it will taste. Leave in pan and covered with wax paper. Put in the refrigerator overnight. The next day it can be removed from the pan but needs to stay covered. It is very firm, very rich, and tastes MUCH better than it looks. Candied fruit can be added if desired. Golden raisins can be added in place of dates.
