Easy No Bake Lemon Dessert Dip (Light & Creamy!)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This No Bake Lemon Dessert Dip is the perfect easy treat when you want something sweet without turning on the oven. What I love about this dip is that it comes together in minutes but still feels fun and a little elevated.

I’ve been making this for years for quick get-togethers, last-minute desserts, or when I just want something sweet after dinner. It also makes great leftovers and is easy to switch up depending on what you have on hand.

Over the Spoon for:

A healthy dose of probiotics from kefir
A gluten-free lemon meringue
An easy no bake lemon dessert

What do you need:

pudding, kefir, and lemon slices — For additional creamy flavor, you will also need some whipped topping

Kefir- I used the lemon flavor kefir but you could use plain or vanilla
Vanilla Pudding- I like to use a sugar free kind
Whipped topping- is optional if you want to make it dairy free- but I love the additional creaminess!

Substitutions and Variations

Switch the flavor:
Use cheesecake or lemon pudding mix for a different twist.

Add fruit:
Serve with strawberries, blueberries, or sliced apples.

Make it thicker:
Add more pudding mix or reduce kefir slightly.

What do you dip in this pudding?

I love to use a graham cracker or vanilla wafer, make sure to buy gluten-free versions if you need that.
To keep this lemon dessert low carb you could use thin apple slices or strawberries.
This is also great served as is with a spoon.

How to make:

lemon pudding in a white bowl with 3 lemons

whipping whipped topping into lemon pudding

Start by making pudding with Kefir and allow to set.
Stir in lemon juice and zest.
Whip in the whipped topping.

Tips and Notes

Letting it chill helps the texture set and flavors come together.
Start with less pudding mix and adjust based on desired thickness.
Lemon kefir gives the brightest flavor, but plain works great too.
This is perfect for a last-minute dessert or snack board.

How long does this last?

This lemon pudding will last about 4 days in the refrigerator. I do not recommend freezing this dessert.

Is this lemon dessert gluten free?

Yes! Just make sure you use gluten free crackers or cookies to dip into it.

Is this healthy?

This no bake lemon dessert is low in sugar, calories, and has added probiotics to make it a great light dessert.

What does this taste like?

It tastes similar to a lemon cheesecake or lemon meringue pie but as a dessert.

Is this dairy free?

No, this is made with Kefir which is a tart and tangy fermented milk. It is like a drinkable yogurt full of probiotics, protein, calcium and Vitamin D.
