Desserts are my weakness and these recipes are exceptional. I have bookmarked almost every recipe to try and make it. I’ve never heard or seen anything about icebox cakes and now I am interested to try them. But cheesecakes are my weakness and currently trying to find a delicious recipe, now I have a few to try and recreate.

I am SO excited to try these recipes. I actually just ate at magnolia bakery for the first time the other day and tried their banana pudding, so this couldn’t have come at a better time! The recipes all look amazing, the pictures of each item are fantastic, and the instructions are easy to follow. The book even explains a lot of the instructions it provides more in depth at the beginning which would be incredibly helpful for someone that is less experienced in the kitchen!

I wanted every (non-banana)recipe in this book! So many perfect, easy and elegant desserts! Some day I will make it to the bakery in NYC , but until then, I am thankful for the cookbooks! 4 April birthday celebrations will be served with one of these delicious pies and cakes!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

If you love no-bake desserts, this book is an absolute gem! One of my favorite things about this book is the stunning photography. I can't wait to add it to my personal collection!

Let's just start off with my favorite part of this cookbook: unless I missed something, there are pictures of each and every completed recipe! This is such a selling feature for me when it comes to cookbooks; I want to know what it's supposed to look like at the end. Beyond that, this cookbook is set up in a very user friendly way. There are intros on common ingredients and tools, and step by step instructions that could be handled by most people. Back to the pictures: everything looked so good and made me hungry.

Thanks to William Morrow and NetGalley for an eARC of this cookbook for an honest review.

Perfectlky timed and wonderfully presented, you need to grab this book before summer so you can make these delightful recipes to cool you down on those HOT summer days. This all inclusive dessert recipe book comes with fabulously delicious recipes, gorgeous photos and easy steps to ensure you are the hit of the party, dinner or just your own personal enjoyment. Don't miss out on this one as having a recipe book where you can write in it any variations for yourself as well as when you made it and the comments from friends and family is the ultimate way to ensure you hit the mark every time. Thank you so much to William Marrow, Netgalley and the author. If you have not ordered this one make sure you do.

Thank you NetGalley for a digital uncorrected proof of this title. Cookbooks are one of my favorite non-fiction genres and I always read them from cover-to-cover. As an experienced dessert maker I feel quite confident tackling any new recipe. Magnolia Bakery Handbook Vol. 2 Icebox Desserts will not disappoint as a plethora of nostalgic favorites and several fresh new takes on icebox (what we used to call a refrigerator) desserts abound. I am always thrilled to learn something new; the Baking Tips and techniques section of this cookbook was truly informative. I now view the weight and measuring of ingredients in a totally new light. Ingredients as far as quality and specific brands are also discussed. This is definitely an important section to include for the home cook so that the iconic flavors of Magnolia Bakery can be recreated at home.

Stunning, full color photos accompany each recipe.

This cookbook's table of contents divides desserts among 6 categories:

Icebox Cakes
Icebox Pies,
Cheesecake (baked in advance, but then chilled for serving)
Icebox bars
Banana pudding and variations of the original famous recipe
Base recipes feature components that are baked but can be prepared ahead of time for later use.

Each dessert section contains many useful tips specific to that type of dessert.

While there are several fruit based desserts, chocolate, peanut butter, and banana lovers will rejoice as many of the recipes feature 1, 2 or 3 of these ingredients as recipe ingredients.

Many of the recipes can be prepared in advance which is so helpful entertaining and busy schedules.

Delicious desserts to beat the heat or whenever you want to skip the oven. Don't delay, clean out your fridge today so you have room to house these luscious treats.

**this uncorrected proof did not contain an index and I assume that it will be forthcoming in the finished edition.

The Magnolia Bakery Handbook of Icebox Deserts if full of recipes I want to try. I love that there are pictures that accompany the recipes, and that there are options to make the components from scratch or to substitute with store bough products like Oreo cookies or Nila wafers. I am especially interested in the cheesecake recipes - the German Chocolate cheesecake looks amazing! Also, I never expected an entire chapter on one of my favorites - banana puddings. I’d recommend this book to anyone interested in icebox treats.

I found this book to be very informative about various baking techniques and baking tools. I really liked the recipes with the pictures. This is definitely a wonderful book about Icebox Desserts.




I would like to thank NetGalley and William Morrow for an advanced readers copy.

Yummy looking recipes that look relatively easy to follow. They also do not look overly complicated. Pictures with every recipe which I love!! Can't wait to try some of them out!

So sad was not able to preview the download would not open. However I am sure it does not disappoint.

A great guide for bakers of any level! The newest Magnolia cookbook is a nice addition to every library's cook book collection. The Magnolia name offers some weight here, as the recipes included aren't necessarily new or inventive. However, having all these great classics together with new favorites makes it aa nice offering for our patrons.
I appreciate the ARC

I'm a sucker for icebox desserts, but this cookbook from Magnolia Bakery is next level delicious. It will be hard not to spend the summer making every single one.

The latest book from New York City's famous Magnolia Bakery is a great follow-up to the already existing cookbooks from the popular spot. These recipes have something for everyone and are updated to today's tastes and trends. I especially cannot wait to try the S'mores Ice Box Cake or the Deep-Dish Peanut Butter Cup Icebox Pie, which looks like heaven on a plate to me. The photography really helps to sell the recipe and whets the appetite. The headnotes are chapter introductions are well-written and I appreciate that some of the recipe headnotes are on the shorter side, allowing the reader to jump right into the best part of reading or owning a cookbook: making the recipe! The step-by-step instructions are clear and the skills that need further explanation are well-done. I never thought I would need a recipe for Key Lime Cheesecake, but after seeing it in this book, I think I may just have to try it.

Magnolia Bakery is perhaps one of the most iconic bakeries in NYC. I've been a fan of theirs for a long time, and I own the first Magnolia Bakery book, so I was excited to receive an ARC of Magnolia Bakery Handbook of Icebox Desserts. Volume two includes icebox cakes, icebox pies, cheesecakes, icebox bars, banana pudding gets its own chapter, puddings, and base recipes like crusts, fillings and sauces, etc.

The recipes seemed much more straight-forwards than the original cookbook, but given that most of the recipes are no-bake, that makes sense. However, the last chapter is base recipes that you're supposed to use, but I kind of like that if you want to simplify, you can use pre-made bases. For example, one of the base recipes is chocolate wafer cookies - if you want to go hard, you can make your own, but it's easy enough to buy chocolate wafer cookies. Magnolia Bakery doesn't mess around, so many of the recipes are time-consuming, but some of these recipes CAN be simplified, which is nice for us lazy baker.

Overall, this will make a great addition to our library's cookbook section, or a great gift for Magnolia Bakery fans who want a taste of Magnolia Bakery without having to go into the city.

Fantastic! Icebox desserts galore. I wasn't expecting there to be SO Many different recipes in here, nor for them to all sound so fun. In the age of Pinterest, Lloyd has managed to surprise me with concoctions I had never heard of before and can't wait to try. I an excellent book to add to your cookbook collection, gift to a friend, or simply sit and drool over.

This recipe book was such a delicious read! I have bookmarked many recipes that I want to try and have even made some of the more simpler ones. I received this book at the perfect time, just in time for the holidays! Can't wait to share my delicious snacks with the rest of my family.

The recipes in this book look AMAZING! We tried out one of the banana puddings and it was phenomenal and easy to make! Definitely a cookbook I would recommend to families because with no baking, the kiddos can really be involved!

The Magnolia Bakery Handbook of Icebox Desserts is a beautiful guide to all things (mostly no bake). I will definitely be trying out multiple recipes for the upcoming holidays, even into next summer as most recipes would work well in the warmer months. All recipes look very easy to follow, and the pictures made me want to try it all.

I received an arc of this title from Netgalley for an honest review. Who knew there were so many icebox desserts and in this cookbook your will received step by step instructions on how to make them.
