The Famous Woolworth Ice Box Cheesecake

Delicious, light and lemony dessert is easy to make. Perfect to take to your next pot luck, or make it just for your family — they will thank you

In a baked cheesecake, tart lemon juice is mellowed by the heat of the oven. In this Lemon Icebox Cheesecake recipe from Cook’s Country, they needed to dial back the lemon juice to compensate. Lemon curd, a rich, tangy spread made from eggs, butter, cream, sugar, and lemon juice, added crisp lemon flavor without the undesirable “chew” of zest or the processed flavor of lemon extract. Using lemon cookies instead of graham crackers for the crust created an additional layer of lemon flavor.
