No-Bake Lemon Curd Desserts

Are you freaking out about Easter right around the corner? Have you been so obsessed with ham and Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies, you haven't given dessert a thought?

Guess what. These two words are going to give you incredible peace of mind: LEMON CURD.

Oh... here's two more words you're going to love: NO BAKE.

Here's the formulas. You can't mess this up. Pinkie swear. In fact, print this out, give it to your kids, and put them to work!

Pssst... Lemon curd is one of those things you can't find everywhere. Save yourself a headache and find it in the baking aisle at Pete's County Market.  :)

Heavenly Lemon Ice Cream

Whip a pint of heavy whipping cream. Gently beat in half a can of sweetened condensed milk and two jars of lemon curd. Freeze. That's it. No ice cream machine. I used an ugly old cottage cheese container and put it the back of the freezer behind a big bag of peas. The family will never find it. Throw a few berries on top or a few thin crispy ginger cookies on the side and you can't go wrong!

Luscious Lemon Trifle

Find a great big pretty clear glass bowl. Got it? That was the hard part. Mix a jar of lemon curd with a container of Cool-Whip. Cut up an angel food cake from the bakery. Wash some berries. Layer to your hearts content.  Nifty, huh?

Darling Lemon Fruit Pizzas

Mix a jar of lemon curd with a block of cream cheese. Spread that lemony goodness on sugar cookies from the bakery. Top with your favorite fruit. Pat yourself on the back.

Fancy-Schmacy Lemon Cheesecake Tarts

Beat a jar of lemon curd with a block of softened cream cheese. Spoon into mini fillo shells (found in the frozen desserts section at Petes) and top with berries or fruit. They're definitely fancy, but also earned that extra "schmancy", don't you think?

Happy Easter!

Enjoy!
