LEMON ICE BOX DESSERT

This dessert must be made at least 5 hours ahead and can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The lady fingers will continue to soften over time, resulting in an even more cohesive, cake-like texture. Add whipped cream just before serving.

Store covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The texture will become softer and more unified as it sits. Do not freeze, as the emulsion will break and the lady fingers will become soggy upon thawing.
