Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons sugar (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Whip the heavy cream: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for best results. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, which gives the dessert its classic airy and fluffy texture.
  2. Mix lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk: In a separate bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to blend the tangy and smooth base.
  3. Fold whipped cream into lemon mixture: Using a spatula, carefully fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture, preserving the fluffiness while evenly incorporating the flavors.
  4. Chill before serving: Transfer the lemon fluff mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set slightly and enhance the citrus flavors.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest and most vibrant flavor.
  • Do not overwhip the cream; stop at soft peaks.
  • Fold ingredients gently with a spatula to retain airiness.
  • Adjust sweetness last by tasting before serving and adding sugar if desired.
  • Chill the dessert well for best texture and flavor melding.
