COPY ISBN
Twenty-five varieties of icebox cake, a layered dessert made of cookies and whipped cream, appear in this cheery collection from literary agent Sagendorph and recipe developer Sheehan. For each cake (e.g., peppermint-chocolate, chai-ginger, lavender-blueberry), the authors give the option of using store-bought or homemade wafers, crackers, or ladyfingers—a wise choice, as many cooks turn to icebox cakes when they don't have an oven, or want to avoid turning one on. They also vary the texture of these pudding-like treats by topping them with chopped candies, sliced fruits, crushed cookies, or candied citrus peels. Ingredients are given in U.S. and metric measurements.
VERDICT Recommended for retro dessert lovers.
