Nothing brings people together like cake, but this rainbow treat is even more special because it combines so many of your favorite desserts into one: part cookie, part cake, part mousse, part cheesecake — it’s everything you could possibly want all at the same time! But the real cherry on top, so to say, is the mesmerising rainbow glaze poured over the top of this no-bake cake, which easily draws all aspects of this delicious dessert together.
