A 5-minute homemade dessert I’ll never get tired of. No baking! Contains no gelatin!

How to Make It (No-Bake, No-Gelatin)

1. Mix the Base: In a bowl, beat together cream cheese (or substitute), sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
2. Layer It Up: Spoon the creamy mixture into serving glasses or ramekins. If using a crushed cookie base, layer that on the bottom or crumble some on top.
3. Top It Off: Add fresh fruit, jam, chopped nuts, or chocolate shavings for an extra treat.
4. Chill (Optional): You can eat it right away or chill it in the fridge for 15–30 minutes for a firmer texture.

Serving Ideas

• Mini parfaits: Layer with fruit or granola in shot glasses for a party-ready presentation.
• Chocolate lovers: Stir in cocoa powder or Nutella for a chocolate version.
• Citrus twist: Add orange or lime zest for a bright, refreshing flavor.
• Vegan option: Use coconut cream and a dairy-free condensed milk alternative.
