Creamy 3-Ingredient No-Bake DessertIf you’re looking for a simple dessert that requires no cooking and only a few ingredients, this creamy refrigerator dessert is a great option.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream (or whipping cream)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently mix in the sweetened condensed milk.
- Add the lemon juice and stir until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Pour into serving glasses or a dessert dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until set.
- Serve chilled.
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries
- Crushed cookies
- Grated chocolate
- Lemon zest
Why It Works
The acid in the lemon juice reacts with the sweetened condensed milk, helping the mixture thicken without any cooking. The whipped cream adds a light, creamy texture.
Variations
- Replace lemon juice with lime juice for a citrus twist.
- Fold in crushed biscuits for added texture.
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
The result is a smooth, creamy dessert that takes just a few minutes to prepare and lets the refrigerator do the rest of the work.
