No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Parfaits
Today’s recipe is for really easy and yummy no bake Lemon Cheesecake Parfaits. Just a few ingredients will whip these up and you’ll be feeling fancy in no time. I love that the flavor on these is not overly-lemon, but you still get enough of the lemon flavor to enjoy it. If you’ve had lemon desserts you know what I mean. These are no-bake which makes them so easy to put together for a girl’s night, a baby shower, or just because. We’re going to split these ingredients between three large parfaits that will easily serve two people each, but you could make them into smaller cups to serve more people as well. Let’s talk about how to make them!
We’re keeping things super simple and combining instant lemon pudding and cream cheese with cool whip for our lemon layers of this parfait, then we just come in with crushed graham crackers for the other layers. We’re topping with whipped cream and of course, and fresh lemon wheel.
Here’s the full list of ingredients you’ll need-
Lemon Cheesecake Parfait Ingredients
- (2) 3.4 oz. boxes of lemon instant pudding mix
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 2 cups milk
- 8 oz. cool whip
- 16 graham crackers, crushed
- Whipped cream for topping
- Fresh lemon slices for garnish
We love any pudding/cool whip dessert, honestly. Plus, the cream cheese in this gives it that tangy cheesecake flavor. So good! Here’s how you’ll mix it all up.
No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Parfaits Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mixes and 2 cups milk (this is different from the box directions).
- Chop cream cheese into cubes, and add to pudding mixture. Use your hand mixer to mix well.
- Add cool whip, and mix until well combined.
- Add your graham crackers to your food processor, and blend into crumbs. You can also add them to a gallon ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin, or just by hand if you don’t have a food processor.
- To your parfait glasses, add a layer of crushed graham crackers, followed by a layer of the lemon cheesecake pudding mixture, another layer of graham crackers, and a final layer of the lemon cheesecake pudding.
- This recipe makes 3 larger parfaits or 4 smaller ones. Top with whipped cream and fresh lemon wedges or wheels. Enjoy!
