Lemon Icebox Cake

This simple, no-bake Lemon Icebox Cake is a perfect warm-weather treat. It’s easy to make and has an amazing creamy lemon flavor. Always a major hit!

These warm-weather months are the perfect time to leave your oven off and try some new no-bake recipes that everyone will love.

I’ve partnered with Hiland Dairy to share this delicious No-bake Lemon Icebox Cake. Super creamy with a little crunch and incredible real lemon flavor. It’s a huge hit!

I used both Hiland’s heavy whipping cream and cream cheese. Two staples in my kitchen that I always have on hand. These two come together to make the creamiest layers between the crunchy graham crackers. I absolutely love Hiland products because I can count on the quality to make my recipes perfect every time.

If you are a lemon lover, then this is a recipe you must try! I delivered some to my neighbors and they both raved and said how much they loved this one. (Even one who said they weren’t a big lemon fan. I’d call that a win.

Grab some Hiland heavy whipping cream and cream cheese and get to baking…or no-baking! Be sure to head over to Hiland’s website to check out all their products plus coupons!
