We enjoy cool whip on quite a few desserts around our house, and in the past I posted about some fun different ways we enjoy using cool whip. Since lemon desserts seem to be all the rage right now, I tweaked a favorite super easy dessert to make it “lemony,” and it was fresh, sweet, cool and tangy!
You only need two ingredients for this sweet lemony treat.
1 3 ounce box of lemon jello (regular or sugar free)
1 16 ounce container of cool whip
Mix together really well, and then freeze for a couple of hours.
Your are then ready to scoop it out and serve. It’s easy, refreshing, cool, light and lemony. Everyone here loved it!
Hope you enjoy!
Blessings,

Hi Margo,
Your Lemon Dessert looks so cool and refreshing, it says summer! Hope you have a special week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

Thank you Margo! I love all these no bake options today. Lemon just screams summer…happy screams of course.
I’m a big fan of anything lemon and anything easy so this sounds fabulous. I’d love you stop by my link party to share this. http://acraftycook.blogspot.com/2012/05/1-month-of-fun-may-link-party.html
Oh I love love love this kind of recipe. Sounds so good and refreshing too. Thanks a million for linking up at Weekend Potluck!! Enjoy a great holiday weekend.
Okay I’ve combined lemon pudding mix and cool whip to make a great frosting but never lemon jell-o and cool whip to freeze. This sounds A-MAZ-ING. We are so going to have to try this. I would love to have you link this up to Titus 2 Tuesday next week on Cornerstone Confessions.
Hopping over from Women Living Well.

That’s so funny, because this weekend I am going to try the lemon jello and cool whip as a frosting too!
What a smart idea! Can’t wait to give this a try, I’ve always got a container or two of coll whip in the freezer for emergencies (or just cravings.) The possibilities are endless!
This looks so tasty! I hope you’ll link this up at my new link party:
