Refrigerator Fruitcake
My grandmother always made a fruitcake using graham crackers, condensed milk, coconut, and cherries. This stuff was very rich and you just made it into a log, rolled in the coconut, and refrigerated. Then you could slice for eating. Does anyone have a recipe for this? TIA!

This is not the same as yours, but it is good. Recipe was given to my wife in 1961. The recipe is much older than that. Notice that it is called "icebox" fruitcake.
