a slice of No Bake Pistachio Icebox Cake

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.

  1. My girlfriend made this and it was delicious. I took 2 lactose pills before I ate it. If I make this for myself can I use oat milk or lactose free milk? Would it change the consistency? Thank you.5 stars

    1. I think it should work just fine, but I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure Sally. If you try it I would love to hear how it turns out!

  2. I “made” this recipe, however my husband is diabetic, so I substituted sugar free pistachio pudding and whipped topping, along with using sugar free Pecan Sandies cookies instead of graham crackers. I dipped the cookies in milk (like the chocolate chip cookie icebox cake recipes), and layered it with the pudding/topping. I was afraid it might be too sweet, but it was DELICIOUS. Thanks so much for the idea!5 stars

  3. You’ve knocked it out the park again, Hana! Just amazing. Pistachio ice cream is one of the bests but I don’t make it often enough so you’ve inspired me now… 5 stars
