If you’ve never made an icebox cake, you MUST try it! An icebox cake usually consists of layers of cookies alternated with layers of pudding, whipped cream or whipped topping. As the ‘cake’ sits overnight the cookies soak in some of the moisture from the whipped layer resulting in a soft cake-y texture.
This icebox cake recipe uses instant pistachio pudding combined with whipped topping to create a super simple and delicious treat! It will take you less than 10 minutes to put this dessert together and no baking is required making it the perfect make-ahead summer dessert! If you line your pan with foil first it’s easy to remove the cake and slice it into squares.
