Cold Lemon Cake
Cold Lemon Cake is a refreshing, no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy lemon filling and crisp Maria cookies. Made with just four ingredients, it’s light, citrusy, and irresistibly smooth—a perfect chilled treat for warm days.
Ingredients
- 4 fresh lemons (green or yellow)
- 200 ml condensed milk
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 1 package Maria cookies
Instructions
- Crush the cookies: Place Maria cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin, leaving small chunks for texture.
- Make the lemon curd filling: Squeeze and strain the lemons. In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, condensed milk, and heavy cream. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Assemble the cake: In an 8-inch pan, layer crushed cookies, then pour lemon filling on top. Repeat layers, finishing with lemon filling.
- Chill and serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight). Garnish with lemon zest or crushed cookies before serving.
