This berry ice box cake is the perfect summer treat — it’s cold, refreshing, and packed full of berry flavor! 🍓

Substitute mascarpone cheese for 100% greek yogurt for a lower-fat, high-protein option.

Berry Ice Box Cake (serves 4)
DIETARY: vegetarian
TOTAL TIME: 10 minutes active time + 4 hours chilling

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup mascarpone cheese
3 tablespoons cane sugar or honey
1 tablespoon vanilla paste
¾ cup raspberries (thawed if frozen, or fresh)
¾ cup blueberries (thawed if frozen, or fresh)
6–7 oz vanilla biscuits or graham crackers
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

1. In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mascarpone, sugar (or honey), and vanilla paste until smooth and creamy.
2. Gently fold in the raspberries and blueberries, being careful not to overmix so you keep some texture.
3. In a 4-cup dish, layer biscuits, then the creamy berry mixture. Repeat once more, finishing with a layer of biscuits on top.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set and sliceable.
5. To serve, dust with powdered sugar and spoon or slice into portions.

*Substitute vanilla flavored Greek yogurt if vanilla paste is unavailable.
*Can use all yogurt and omit mascarpone.

The Key System
Al Marshall – drums
Dave Shul – guitar
Troy Lamkins – bass
Bob Crawford – keyboard

Come take a journey with the Key System as they return to a buzzy time in the 1990’s when one could hear live bands play a mix of jazz, funk, hip hop, latin music and beyond from SF’s South of Market to various locals in the East Bay.

These four Bay Area veteran music travelers were there, and they’re excited to share their tales!

“Changui” with special guest from Guantanamo, Cuba
Jose Andres “El Sinsonte”

Jose Andres - lead vocals + percussion
Einar Leliebre - bongo de monte + backup vocals
Cy Thompson - Marimbula + backup vocals
Kai Lyons - Cuban tres guitar + backup vocals

Jose Andres returns for his second or third appearance at the Annex. Thanks to Gabriel Garcia, founder of Changui Majadero, SF-based jazz guitarist Kai Lyons was able to connect with Andres in his native city of Guantanamo, Cuba and subsequently foster a relationship of deep mentorship by means of the genre known as “changüi”, a rural, proto-son, 19th century Afro-Cuban rhythm and dance style. For this rare performance, they will be joined by SF-native and UCLA ethnomusicology graduate Cy Thompson on the “marimbula” (metal bass box) and "Santiaguero de Pura Sepa" Einar Leliebre on "bongo de monte” (bongo of the forest/mountain), plus special guests.
