Jessica, where do the blueberries come in? I see them in the URL and in someone else’s comment, but not the recipe. . .lemon sounds great but I have a box of blueberries in my fridge right now so lemon blueberry sounds even better. 🙂

I eliminated the blueberries in this last update because it was so good without and it’s not as easy to slice with the berries. If you want to add them, poke them down into the lemon-curd-whipped cream layers. The round berries will basically push their way into the cream layer and then you can smooth over the top.

Thanks! Hmm. . .maybe I’ll cook up a simple blueberry sauce instead of using raw berries. Really excited to try this as I bought a gaufrette iron last Christmas (similar to pizelles but with a waffle design) so I don’t have to decide whether it’s worth taking a chance with gluten. 😉 And yes, I realize I just turned your five ingredient recipe into a bigger project. But I enjoy baking and I’ve learned enough from you that I won’t have to resort to carry-out for dinner!
True story, ca. 2000: Dh came home for lunch (parsonage life perk) and I had forgotten to prepare anything. BUT! I had a cake baking for dessert. 🙂

This turns out nice every time! My daughter asked for this for her 14th bd this year. I use graham crackers in place of the butter cookies and resembles a lemon and key lime pie. >DROOL< 😀

Sounds like it’s becoming a family favorite. That’s so nice to hear!
Helen
If I only have frozen blueberries, should I thaw and drain first?
Jessica Fisher
I haven’t tested it with frozen berries, but yes, I think I would thaw and drain first. Just save the juice for something else.
Helen
It turned out great 🙂 Except now I sort of want a box of those wafers to eat plain 😉
Jessica Fisher
Yay! Love it!
Lizzy
Thanks! Now I have an idea for my own Icebox Cake. I have a favorite dessert from childhood that I was wondering how on earth I would make with real food. Now I have an attack plan!

Reminds me of a pudding my mother used to make, dip ginger biscuits in orange juice then sandwich them together with whipped cream, form a log shape then cover it with more whipped cream. Sounds bizarre, but it’s really nice!
Jessica Fisher
There are lots of bizarre icebox cake combos, I’m finding.
Charlene
I have everything on hand except lemon curd. What is that, or what could be used in place of that? Thanks for the good idea!
Jessica Fisher
It’s like lemon pie filling (but better) that comes in a jar in the jam section. You could mix lemon zest into the whipped cream instead. I did that the first time and it was great.

Great idea! I have butter cookies that I have been looking to use up and this would fit the bill. I am planning on using some in banana pudding (in place of vanilla wafers) and this would give me another variation. Thanks!
