No-bake icebox desserts have been a phenomenon since the 1920s, and their popularity has only grown, as this book demonstrates. Magnolia Bakery CEO Lloyd (The Magnolia Bakery Handbook) offers a book of simple, elegant, and deliciously photographed treats that showcase why Magnolia now operates in more than 40 global locations. The book begins with step-by-step instructions for handling basic ingredients and discusses the methods used throughout the book, such as melting chocolate and best practices for handling a digital scale; it also includes a valuable list of recommended equipment. One hundred recipes follow, each with a gorgeous photo, covering every icebox dessert one might imagine, including cakes, pies, bars, puddings, and cookies. Chocolate-chip cookie salted-caramel icebox cake, banoffee pie, and red velvet cheesecake are a few of the inspiring creations featured in easy-to-follow recipes that can make anyone feel like a professional baker.
VERDICT A true handbook for encouraging home cooks to make the most delicious, sweet treats. Clear some room in the icebox.
