This is a recipe my Grannie and my Mom used to make for family gatherings and the taste and fluffy texture is something that takes me straight back to my childhood.
I’ve made it for a few get togethers and everyone always asks for the recipe so I thought I’d share it with all of you!

What size box of lemon pie filling? This sounds so light and refreshing!
The large 6oz box. 🙂
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing! What a fun, light summer dessert!
Lemon is one of my favorites and I how simple this is to make.
Have you tried the lemon fluff with whipped cream instead of cool whip? I don’t like the chemical-ness of cool whip.
I haven’t tried using real whip cream but if you do let us know how it turns out! 🙂
Yes, I used real whip cream and a 22 oz. can lemon pie filling/topping. It turned out delicious and I can’t wait to make it for my friends. So, so easy!
This looks amazing! How many servings will this make?
Confused about when to mix the partially set jello with the pie mix/cool whip. Help? Thanks!
This looks delicious! Just wamted to check before I go to the store – what size pie filling is it? And do you refrigerate the jello & the pudding after preparing each when you say to let set & cool? Thanks!
Get the large size box Janet and yes, I’d refrigerate. 🙂
Hi. I want to make this for our Easter Dinner so can this be made the day ahead or is it best to make the day of? Any advice on this is appreciated.
It can be made the day ahead for sure Tracy!
I can’t locate pie filling mix, only canned, 15.75 oz. Would that work? If so, how much of the canned should I use? Thanks
Does this set up enough to put on a graham cracker crust?
Yes!
In the video it shows sugar and egg being put in. In the ingredients it does not call for eggs or sugar. Please explain.
Thanks!
Prepare the lemon pie filling according to package directions.
This looks good and easy. Not sure how firm jello neefs to be. But will try it. Directions could be just a tad bit better. But think it will work. Thsnks.
What exactly is lemon pie filling mix? Can you send a brand?
Goodness ladies, pudding and pie filling are one and the same. Look at the side of the box! Delightful recipe, thank you so much!
