Lemon Icebox Cake is a cool and creamy no-bake dessert made with layers of graham crackers, lemon pudding, and whipped topping. It’s easy to make, refreshing, and perfect for warm weather gatherings or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 box graham crackers
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Fresh lemon slices or zest for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together lemon pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
  2. Fold in the whipped topping and lemon zest, if using, until smooth and combined.
  3. In a 9×13-inch dish, spread a thin layer of the lemon mixture on the bottom.
  4. Layer graham crackers over the mixture to cover the bottom completely.
  5. Spread one-third of the lemon mixture over the crackers. Repeat layers two more times, ending with the lemon mixture on top.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften.
  7. Garnish with lemon slices or zest before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Use vanilla pudding with lemon zest for a milder lemon flavor.
  • Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
  • Top with crushed graham crackers or white chocolate shavings for extra flair.
