Author Shannon Lyon | Plum Street Collective

Ingredients

  • 1 box graham crackers 14 oz. box (Or any wafer cookies, like Nilla Wafers)
  • 1 quart heavy whipping cream
  • 5 tbsp. sugar
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • zest of 1 lemon

  • Using a cake pan, or springform pan, set out the desired shape you'd like for the cake. Set aside.
  • Whip cold whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 of lemon zest.
  • Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  • Spoon a large heap of whipped cream into bottom of cake pan. Spread evenly across bottom of pan.
  • On top of cream layer, add graham crackers in a single layer (Break them as needed to form to the shape of your pan - small gaps are okay.)
  • Repeat by adding another cream layer, then another layer of graham crackers until you are out of crackers. Finish the top with a thick layer of whipped cream and garnish with the remaining lemon zest.
  • Place in the fridge overnight or all day (8 hours) to set.
