There’s something about that slightly tangy, fresh lemon flavor that just hits different when it’s hot out. Today, we're celebrating that irresistible citrusy goodness with 3 easy, homemade no-bake lemon desserts that are fresh, creamy, and totally delicious.

1. Classic Lemon Carlota

· ½ cup natural lemon juice

· Zest of 1 lemon

· A splash of Vainilla Molina

· 1 package of Maria cookies

Directions:

1. Mix milks, lemon juice, zest and a splash of Vainilla Molina until you get a thick cream.

2. In a pan, form a layer of Marias cookies, then a layer of step 1 mixture.

3. Repeat layers until you finish with a layer of lemon mixture.

4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight).

5. Garnish with lemon zest or thin lemon slices before serving.

This one’s fresh, creamy and just the right amount of tangy. The yogurt blends beautifully with the lemon, and the vanilla softens the acidity for a really pleasant, balanced flavor.
