3-Ingredient No-Bake Lemon Cookie Mousse
This is the last-minute dessert that saves every dinner: three ingredients, no baking, and an incredibly fresh lemon mousse. The cookies soften between the layers of cream until it tastes like a real cake. Nobody will guess how easy it was.

Directions
- 1
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl and add the fresh lemon juice.
- 2
Whisk vigorously for a minute: the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy mousse. Chill while you prepare the biscuits.
- 3
Roughly crush two packs of cookies (keep the third aside for the topping).
- 4
Spread a layer of lemon cream over the base of a rectangular dish, then add a layer of cookies.
- 5
Repeat the alternating layers, finishing with a layer of cream.
- 6
Scatter the remaining crushed cookies on top and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm and cold.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a tangier dessert, whisk the lemon zest into the cream. Let it set overnight and the cookies soften into a cake-like base. Run a warm knife along the edges before slicing for clean portions.
