No-bake desserts are extremely impressive. They are like the 2.0 version of the baked goods we enjoy and love. It is like magic! When I moved out of my parent’s house I only have the basics and it took me months to even afford a decent oven. It’s darn hard and I needed to adjust. That’s when I fell in love with no-bake recipes. Don’t underestimate no-bake goodies because they are as great and sometimes even better. Like this No-Bake Woolworth Icebox Cheesecake. It’s one of the many no-bake recipes I kept and fell crazy in love with. A no-fuss, cold, lemony, and light Icebox Cheesecake. This is best served when chilled and reminds me of summer.
