Refreshing, creamy, and citrusy — this Argentinian-style lemon dessert is the perfect no-bake treat for warm days. At Wooden Table Baking Co., we love how this simple recipe captures the essence of Latin flavor with just a few ingredients and a lot of soul.

- Zest of 1 lemon (for garnish)
Instructions
- Line the bottom of a glass dish with lemon cookies briefly dipped in milk.
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Add the condensed milk and gently mix.
- Stir in the lemon juice until creamy and slightly thickened.
- Layer: half cream, another layer of lemon cookies, then rest of cream.

Optional Tips
- Add lemon curd between layers for more flavor.
- Decorate with berries or mint.
- Top it with our Lemon Alfajores for a twist!
