Here’s a simple, creamy lemon or lime dessert that’s cool, smooth, and super easy — no baking required 🍋🍈
Creamy Lemon or Lime No-Bake Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust
- Optional topping: whipped cream or zest
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in condensed milk and vanilla until fully combined.
- Add citrus juice slowly while mixing; the filling will thicken.

- Chill for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
- Top with whipped cream or citrus zest before serving.
Variations
- Lemon version: add 1 teaspoon lemon zest for extra brightness
- Key lime style: use lime juice + crushed graham crackers on top
