Got you 😊 This is the full, exact recipe for the dessert in the picture — simple, no-bake, and only 2 ingredients.
2-Ingredient Lemon Dessert (Lemon Posset–Style)
Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz / 400 g) can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
(about 2–3 lemons)
Instructions
- Pour condensed milk into a bowl.
- Slowly add lemon juice, stirring constantly.
- Keep stirring for 1–2 minutes — it will thicken immediately.
- Pour into a glass dish or individual cups.
- Chill 2–3 hours (or until fully set).
- Slice or scoop and serve.
Optional Toppings (like the photo)
- Chocolate sprinkles
- Lemon zest
- Crushed cookies or graham crumbs
- Fresh berries
Important Tips
- Use fresh lemon juice (bottled doesn’t set as well)
- Do not heat — the thickening happens naturally
- Texture firms more the longer it chills
Flavor Variations
- 🍋 Extra lemony: add zest from 1 lemon
- 🍊 Orange or lime: replace lemon juice 1:1
- 🥥 Coconut: swap half the condensed milk with coconut condensed milk
This is one of those “people don’t believe it only has two ingredients” desserts 😄
