How to Make Lemon Lime Layered Dessert

  1. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with lifting out the frozen dessert.
  2. Spoon 2 cups of lemon-lime sherbet into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.
  3. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Gradually beat in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  6. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping (cool whip).
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the partially frozen sherbet layer.
  8. Freeze for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely firm.
  9. Once frozen, lift the dessert out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into slices and serve immediately for the best texture.
