Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from fresh lemons)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (thawed if frozen)
  • 3 large egg whites (optional, for extra fluff) or 1 tablespoon gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water (optional)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for egg whites and balancing sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Zest and juice fresh lemons to capture the freshest flavor. Set the zest and juice aside separately. Thaw whipped topping if frozen and have the sweetened condensed milk ready.
  2. Whip the Egg Whites or Prepare Gelatin: If using egg whites, beat them with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form to add volume and lightness. If using gelatin, dissolve it in warm water, then cool slightly for later use.
  3. Mix Lemon Juice and Condensed Milk: Combine freshly squeezed lemon juice with the sweetened condensed milk in a mixing bowl to create the tangy-sweet base.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping and Egg Whites or Gelatin: Gently fold in the whipped topping and your prepared egg whites or gelatin mixture, careful not to deflate the fluffy texture.
  5. Chill Until Set: Pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours to let the dessert set and the flavors meld.

Notes

  • Fresh lemons matter: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest for the brightest flavor.
  • Gentle folding: To maintain fluffiness, fold the whipped topping and egg whites carefully.
  • Chill time is crucial: Allow adequate chilling time for ideal texture and flavor melding.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually: Taste base mixture before folding in toppings to customize sugar level.
  • Serve cold: Keep dessert chilled until serving for best freshness and fluffiness.
