Icebox cakes are so simple! They’re no-bake desserts made with just a few ingredients and can be served chilled or frozen. I make them all year round, but especially in the summer. You should also try this creamy Banana Icebox Cake, or my famous Oreo Icebox Cake. I have so many great No-bake desserts shared on this site. I love making pies, and I make this Peanut Butter Pie at least once a month. Another delicious no-bake pie is this Million Dollar Pie, and this Strawberry Pie. But now, let’s talk about this amazing icebox cake! It’s so easy to make, light, and refreshing, and you’re going to love it!

Icebox Cake key ingredients
You only need 5 ingredients to make this icebox cake: Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Graham Crackers – You need a box of plain graham crackers, and you don’t need to crush them up before using them. Lemon Pudding Mix, Milk, and Lemon Juice – 2 boxes of instant lemon pudding mix, whole milk, and fresh lemon juice will be mixed together for the filling. Make sure that you’re using instant pudding, and not the “cook and serve” pudding that won’t work here. Whipped Topping – We’re using thawed whipped topping in the filling and as a topping for the lemon icebox cake.
How To Make Lemon Icebox Cake
Recipe Tips
Fresh Lemon Juice: I recommend squeezing fresh and ripe lemons for the best results. Avoid using the bottled stuff. Lemon Curd: To add another layer of flavor to the cake, add some lemon curd to the layers of the icebox cake. You can also use lemon curd to make lemon thumbprint cookies! Chill: It’s important to allow the icebox cake to chill before serving. This will help with the texture for the cake to hold its shape, it will also help the crackers or cookies absorb the moisture from the topping so it melts in your mouth when you eat it.
Storing Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze this dessert for up to 1 month, make sure to cover it with plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
