LEMON GINGER ICEBOX CAKE
No oven required. This is an easy make-ahead dessert with a light and complex blend of flavors. For the cookies, I use one 9-oz box of Meyer Lemon Thins, Lemon Curd, and some Triple-Ginger Snaps from Trader Joe's. Plan ahead because it needs to sit in the fridge overnight.

Steps:
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in sugar and 2 tbsp of the lemon zest.
- Spread a very thin layer of the cream in the bottom of a 8 x 12 pan. (You can use a 9x13 pan also but the cake will be thinner.) Place the gingersnap cookies in an even layer over the cream, breaking some in half to fill in holes if necessary.
- Very carefully heat the lemon curd slightly over a pan of boiling water, or microwave it for 10-15 seconds (be very careful or it will burn!) Drizzle some lemon curd over the cookie layer.
- Spread a layer of cream over the cookies and lemon curd.
- Repeat each layer with the lemon thins, curd, and cream, ending with a layer of cream on the top. Sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest and coconut.
- Refrigerate overnight and cut with sharp knife to serve.
