Description

A refreshing dessert with layers of lemon filling and graham crackers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (about 14 oz) graham crackers (or vanilla wafers)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (for garnish)
  • Fresh lemon slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  6. Add another layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining lemon filling. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld.
