Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz lemon-flavored gelatin mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 0.5 cup lemonade concentrate (thawed)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve the lemon-flavored gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water and 1/2 cup of thawed lemonade concentrate to the gelatin mixture. Stir well.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the gelatin mixture to the cream cheese, about 1/4 cup at a time, while continuing to beat to ensure a smooth consistency.
Once fully combined, gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping using a rubber spatula until no streaks remain.
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch square dish or individual serving glasses. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and fluffy.
Optional: Just before serving, sprinkle with lemon zest for added flavor and a decorative touch.
