LIGHT LEMON FLUFF DESSERT

Light Lemon Fluff Dessert image

This came from my grandmother, whose family owned a bakery. My grandmother's was the full-fat version and I didn't want to mess with perfection too much, so I only made a few healthier substitutions. It's sweet, lemony and light, and we occasionally slice fresh strawberries over the top. -Nancy Brown, Dahinda, Illinois

Tips:

Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for this dessert. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be slightly less bright.
Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved. If the gelatin is not completely dissolved, it will not set properly and the dessert will be runny. To ensure that the gelatin is completely dissolved, whisk it into the hot water until it is completely clear.
Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours. This will allow the dessert to set properly and develop its full flavor. You can chill the dessert for longer if you want, but it is not necessary.
Serve the dessert with fresh berries or whipped cream. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dessert.

Conclusion:

This light and fluffy lemon dessert is the perfect way to end a meal. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The dessert is also a good source of vitamin C and fiber. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and delicious dessert, give this lemon fluff a try.
