Icebox Cake Recipe
I have a few Icebox cake recipes that I love to make. My favorite icebox cake recipe is Lemon Icebox Cake. I am a sucker for lemon-y desserts. The downside, my family does really like lemon, except my mom. So I make lemon icebox cake whenever she is coming over. For the rest of the family, I make Oreo Cheesecake Icebox Cake.

My Mom used to make a lemon icebox pie with condensed milk and top it with a merengue topping. Of course, she used the typical graham cracker crust, but when I make it, I use butter cookies and nix the merengue! I use REAL WHIPPED CREAM (that I whip myself)! I just don’t like the graham cracker crust nor do I like the merengue, so there should be absolutely nothing wrong with me switching to whipped cream and butter cookies for the crust. If you want to try it for comparison, come on over as long as you actually write a review of your findings.
