WHAT IS AN ICEBOX CAKE?
An icebox cake is made of layers of graham crackers and some sort of creamy filling. The fillings can be almost any creamy flavor you like.
The graham crackers get soft from the filling and the most amazing textures happen without having to bake anything!
This lemon icebox cake is just the thing to whip up when you need something for a potluck or quick dessert. Everybody knows we love no bake desserts no matter what time of year and this one seriously takes no time to make.
We made this ice box cake a little differently. We made it a few things we normally wouldn’t use for an icebox cake but the results were incredible!
It has layers of graham crackers between creamy lemony yogurt filling. And a layer of whipped topping that’s flavored with cheesecake pudding! Then lemon curd to top it all off. The lemon curd really packs a delicious lemon flavor!
Now if you don’t have graham crackers you could use Nilla wafers or a shortbread cookie. We chose to use the OUI Yogurt with a bit of lemon jello instead of the usual lemon pudding. And we added some jello cheesecake pudding to the cool whip. All for a change than an average than the average icebox cake. So you can really make it any way you like.
The first icebox cake I remember having was at a pot luck years ago. It had graham crackers, pudding ,sliced strawberries and cool whip.
I remember thinking how is that going to taste good?! It was delicious! That was my love affair with icebox cakes or anything no bake.
EASY ICEBOX LEMON CAKE
Making an icebox cake is super easy. It involves placing graham crackers in a dish then layering the filling on top. Then the refrigerator does the rest. Seriously so easy!
HOW LONG IS AN ICEBOX CAKE GOOD FOR?
This cake will keep for about 3 days. I don’t think it’s ever lasted that long or even made it to the fridge for leftovers in our house.
With it’s layers of cool, creamy lemon filling, graham crackers, flavored whipped topping and lemon curd. It’s an easy, refreshing no-bake dessert that is perfect for summer!
