Before we get to the recipe a little recap…..

Lemon Crunch

It’s all over – Sleeping late. Playing DS all day. Watching tv all day. Staying in pj’s all day….or staying in undies all day. Ok, NOT ME!! The boys!

School starts Tuesday. Now the days will be an endless sea of homework, tests, projects, Scouts, & swim for them. Packing lunches and snacks, carpool (oh, dear, CARPOOL!!!!), PTO, fundraising (oh, dear, FUNDRAISING!!), and Junior Auxiliary for me.

Teachers started last week and PTO had a luncheon for them. I made this dessert and not a morsel was left. It’s very simple to make and I didn’t have to turn on the oven!

No Bake Lemon Crunch

I love that this dessert recipe is no-bake. It’s the perfect hot-weather dessert and great for lemon lovers. You know no everyone loves chocolate so this is always a good alternative for potlucks and entertaining. Plus, it’s really easy to make which makes it an extra good recipe.

This dessert has four layers, the crunchy bottom with is pretzels and vanilla wafers. A creamy layer of sweetened cream cheese is next. Then it’s topped with a tart lemon filling that has the flavor and consistency of an icebox lemon pie. It’s tart and sweet and I have to stop myself from eating it right out of the bowl. A simple spread of whipped cream or cool whip tops this easy dessert.

It’s very much like a Lemon Icebox Pie but better!
