We had one and I bought ine to use as a quilt trunk and case for my bedroom.
My grandmother made this dessert
I grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, lots of fresh milk, occasionally not so fresh milk. Mom would simmer the not so fresh milk on the back burner to make cottage cheese, then drain it dry in cheesecloth. When the curds were pretty dry she’d mix sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir it up together to enjoy with cold milk, so delicious on a hot summer day after field work!
be honest - are you team graham crackers or team crisp wafers for icebox cake, and do you let it go overnight or you cut it early and live with the crunch?
… I have that same wooden ice box - except 3 doors … ahhh. Again - no recipe…
