If you’re looking for a summery dessert that’s all fun and no fuss, you’ll love my no-bake lemon freeze bars. These bars start with a classic graham cracker crumb crust, and then it’s time to move onto the filling, which is where the magic happens. The filling is a shockingly simple no-churn ice cream made by flavoring sweetened condensed milk with lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice to give it a bright, citrus-y flavor, then folding in whipped cream to lighten the mixture. Once frozen, it melts in your mouth with every bite.
