Lemon Icebox Cake- this cool and creamy no-bake dessert is made with layers of graham crackers, lemon pudding, and a Cool Whip topping. With lots of fresh lemon flavor, this easy dessert is perfect for summer.

I like to serve it with fresh raspberries or blackberries. Fresh fruit goes so well with lemon and it adds another burst of color.

Another great lemon dessert is this Lemon Lush. It has a buttery, pecan crust, a cream cheese layer, lemon pudding layer, and a Cool Whip layer. So delicious. I’m not sure which one I like better.

For ease and convenience though, you can’t beat this Lemon Icebox Cake. It only takes about 10 minutes to make and then it needs to be refrigerated for about 2 hours. The graham crackers get soft and create an unbelievable texture. Dessert making doesn’t get any easier than this Icebox Cake.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

  • 2 boxes instant lemon pudding mix.
  • 2 1/2 cups cold milk- low-fat milk can be used.
  • Lemon Zest- for a fresher, more intense lemon flavor.
  • Cool Whip
  • Graham Crackers

HOW TO MAKE LEMON ICEBOX PIE:

  1. Mix the pudding. Stir in the lemon zest and half of the Cool Whip.
  2. Layer the pudding  and graham crackers in a 9×13-inch pan.
  3. Top with Cool Whip.
  4. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Will keep for about 3 days in the refrigerator.

    Place a single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of the pan, breaking pieces as needed to completely cover the bottom.

  4. 4

    Spread half the lemon pudding on top of the graham crackers. Do a second layer of graham crackers.

    Repeat with the remaining lemon pudding a third layer of graham crackers.

    Spread the remaining Cool Whip on top of the last layer of graham crackers.
