25 Deliciously Cool Icebox Cakes

Is it hot where you live? Here in Southern Utah today the temperature is 94 degrees. It’s a perfect day to make one of these 25 deliciously cool icebox cakes! I’m sure you know by now, I love homemade food whether it’s a dinner casserole, breakfast dish, or like today, a homemade dessert.

It’s my understanding that Utah consumes more ice cream per capita than any other state, and I’m one of those consumers and I own it. Does your family love ice cream in the summer, or year-round?
