How to Make Easy Lemon Cream Dessert

  1. In a large bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, the juice of 3 lemons, and the zest of 2 lemons.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until just combined.
  4. Divide the mixture into serving glasses. Top each serving with the zest of the remaining lemon.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill completely.
