Ingredients

1 large package of lemon Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
1 ½ cups cold water
1 Cook & Serve Lemon Pie Filling Mix (not instant)
1 8 oz. container Cool Whip
Whipped cream and fresh lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Lemon Jell-O Base:
- In a large bowl, dissolve the lemon Jell-O in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir the mixture until the Jell-O is completely dissolved.
- Add 1 ½ cups of cold water to the Jell-O mixture and stir well to combine. Allow the Jell-O mixture to partially set, ensuring it’s not completely firm.
Prepare the Lemon Pie Filling:
- While the Jell-O is setting, prepare the Cook & Serve Lemon Pie Filling Mix according to the package directions.
- Once prepared, allow the lemon pie filling to cool completely, covering it with plastic wrap to prevent a “skin” from forming on top.
Combine Jell-O and Lemon Pie Filling:
- Once both the Jell-O and pie filling are cooled, gently fold them together in a large bowl until well combined.
Add Cool Whip:
- Add the Cool Whip to the Jell-O and pie filling mixture, gently folding it in until fully incorporated.
Transfer and Chill:
- Transfer the lemon fluff mixture to a serving dish or individual dessert cups.
- Refrigerate the dessert until set, approximately 1 hour.
Serve and Garnish:
- Before serving, top with additional whipped cream and garnish with fresh lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
Enjoy:
- Gather your friends and family to savor this delightful Lemon Fluff Dessert, guaranteed to be a hit with everyone!

Notes

Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the Lemon Fluff Dessert chilled for the best taste and texture experience.
- Present the dessert in elegant serving dishes or individual dessert cups for a sophisticated touch.
- Garnish each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a slice of fresh lemon for a visually appealing presentation.
Make Ahead:
- This dessert can be prepared ahead of time, making it perfect for entertaining. Simply prepare the Lemon Fluff Dessert as directed, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Storage:
- Store any leftover Lemon Fluff Dessert in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Due to the presence of dairy in the Cool Whip, prolonged storage may cause the dessert to lose its texture and freshness.
Refreshing Leftovers:
- If the dessert becomes a bit flat after refrigeration, simply give it a gentle stir to fluff it up again before serving.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to leftover servings to revive the tangy flavor.
Creative Variations:
- Experiment with different flavors by substituting the lemon Jell-O with other fruit-flavored gelatin mixes, such as orange or raspberry, for a unique twist on this classic dessert.
- Enhance the presentation by layering the Lemon Fluff Dessert with crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers for added texture and flavor contrast.
Accompaniments:
- Pair the Lemon Fluff Dessert with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.
- For a more indulgent experience, serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of raspberry coulis.
