Calling all lemon lovers! This layered lemon dessert balances sweet and tart perfectly: a cookie-style crust topped with a tangy cream cheese layer, thick lemon pudding, bright lemon curd, and a light whipped topping.
I’m a big fan of lemon desserts. While chocolate will always have a place in my heart, lemon’s bright, tangy flavor often wins out—especially in warm weather. This layered lemon dessert is a fresh, summery twist on my favorite no-bake layered desserts and showcases lemon in several delicious forms.
The dessert is simple to assemble and impressive to serve: a sugar-cookie-like crust forms the base, followed by a cream cheese layer that’s light and slightly tangy, then a creamy lemon pudding, a layer of lemon curd for concentrated citrus flavor, and a final layer of whipped topping. Each bite delivers multiple textures and a bold lemon punch.
