Lemon Raspberry Icebox Cake: A Refreshing No-Bake Dessert for Summer


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh preferred)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
1 box graham crackers
2 cups fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen)
Extra whipped topping and lemon zest, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  • Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until creamy and well combined.

  • Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. The mixture should be light and fluffy.

  • Assemble the Layers: In a 9×13-inch dish, spread a thin layer of the lemon filling on the bottom. Add a layer of graham crackers (breaking as needed to fit). Spread a layer of lemon filling over the crackers, then scatter raspberries over the filling.

  • Repeat: Continue layering graham crackers, lemon filling, and raspberries until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of the lemon mixture on top.

  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and flavors to meld.

 

  • Serve: Top with extra whipped topping, fresh raspberries, and a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.
