Ingredients

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the lemon pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and cold milk. Stir for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding begins to thicken. Set it aside.
  • Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Combine with whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Add the lemon pudding: Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold it into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture. Mix until everything is combined and smooth.
  • Adjust flavor (optional): For an extra tart flavor, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and mix well.
  • Chill and serve: Spoon the lemon fluff into serving dishes or a large serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing it to set and chill.
  • Garnish (optional): Before serving, garnish with a little lemon zest for a fresh pop of flavor and color.

Notes

  • For a fruity twist, add fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries before chilling.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute non-dairy cream cheese, whipped topping alternatives, and ensure the pudding mix is dairy-free.
  • If you prefer more citrus flavor, increase the lemon juice or add lemon zest directly into the fluff.
