On Duck Duck Go I searched " refrigerator white fruitcake recipe
and came up with many links to recipes.
Since you did not say exactly what you were looking for in the fruitcake (other than refrigerator-ness), maybe one of these would fit the bill?
Lots of these recipes look fairly similar: nuts and glaceed fruit, crumbs (ritz crackers, graham cracker crumbs, vanilla wafers--or cake crumbs!), all bound by sweetened condensed milk and/or marshmallows, with some other minor variations. Is the the type of cake you were looking for?
Try also this link which will give you a bunch of refrigerator fruitcakes, though none that I can see have the word "white" in the name.

Mistral, thanks for the reply and the link. As a child, I remember a neighbor’s grandmother making a fruit cake (without any colored fruit) that was kept in the refrigerator. It was very rich and a small piece was all you needed. I am fairly sure it had fruit in it and sweetened condensed milk, but I was very young and can’t remember much more than I loved it. Unfortunately, all of the family is gone now and I have no way to chase it down other than to start experimenting. I remember the color was a tan—not dark, no colored fruit.

I remember those, I think they were called No-Bake Fruit Cake and were made with sweetened
condensed milk and graham cracker crumbs. I think the usual fruit was raisins and dates, but I supposed it could vary, probably maraschino cherries, too. Very popular in the fifties. If you look for a recipe for no-bake fruit cake you will probably find something similar. I'll check my oldest cookbooks.
