5-Minute No-Bake Lemon Cream Dessert

Step 1: Whip the Cream

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form (about 2 minutes).

Step 2: Add the Good Stuff

1. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract.
2. Mix just until smooth and creamy. The lemon juice will slightly thicken the cream into a mousse-like texture.

Step 3: Assemble & Chill (Optional)

• Serve immediately in small glasses, cups, or jars.
• For layered desserts: alternate spoonfuls of lemon cream with cookie or graham cracker crumbs.
• Garnish with a twist of lemon, zest, or fresh berries.

Pro Tips:

• You can chill it for 15–30 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture
• Add crushed meringue or toasted coconut on top for extra flair
• Make it ahead and store in the fridge for up to 2 days
