LEMON ICEBOX (OR FREEZER) CAKE
I seem to be on a roll finding no-cook, quick & easy, make-ahead desserts & this 1 by Helen Corbitt from her cookbook w/the catchy title of "Helen Corbitt's Cookbook" doesn't end my trend. Her only comment was "This dessert freezes beautifully & I always keep 1 on hand for emergencies." If you are after a low-cal or low-fat dessert, this is not for you. If you want something yummy & decadent, then read on. My view is it would make having surprise guests an almost worthwhile emergency. Enjoy!

EASY CHOCOLATE ICEBOX CAKE
People are very impressed when they eat this, because the cookies get soft and meld together with the cream. They think that somehow you made really thin strips of chocolate cake, and they can never figure out how you got them to stand up. Best if you make it the day before.

- Beat 3/4 cup cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Spread a long rectangular layer of whipped cream, about 10 inches by 2 inches, onto a serving plate.
