Icebox Desserts, Cookbook of the Day

Sarah suggested a list of desserts that she doesn't want to eat during the summer, but instead of prohibiting things, why don't we think up some alternative desserts that are perfect for a summer day. Icebox Desserts fits the bill exactly, as it is jam-packed with recipes for icebox cakes, mousses, puddings and other desserts that need no cooking (or only very minimal cooking) and are served cold. The desserts utilize lots of store bought things, such as Oreo cookies, and other easy-to-find ingredients to help speed the process along in weather when you don't want to be spending time in the kitchen. Lest you think that the book is "semi-homemade," the author is a highly skilled pastry chef and contributor to Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, Cook's Illustrated, and the New York Times. One last thing - many of the recipes are also doused with liquors, giving them a grow-up taste and feel, and proving that easy desserts don't have to be kids' desserts

And are sample recipes available? There are several here, including Ice Cream Brownie Pizza, Caramel Banana Pudding Parfaits, Rose's Watermelon Ice Cream Bombe and Pop Art Raspberry Icebox Cake (which looks too good to eat).
