Lemon Cream Filling

I was looking for a creamy lemon filling that did not require cooking and came across a nice recipe on cooks.com that was paired with an Angel Food cake recipe. I have altered their recipe a little. This makes a nice light and fluffy creamy lemon filling.

Lemon Cream Filling

Ingredients

  • 1- 8oz pkg cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 c whipping cream
  • 1 pkg instant Lemon Pudding mix
  • 1 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/2 c granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. 1: In a large mixer bowl cream sugar and softened cream cheese.
  2. 2: Add pudding mix and extract; mixing just till combined.
  3. 3; Slowly add in the whipping cream; mixing till throughly combined and fluffy.

    Probably not very nutritional since it’s part of a dessert.

    :)
    Happy eating.

I love this receip, it is nice and fluffy and just the right amount of lemon flavor, also this fiiled a 11x15. I will continue to use this for anyone who request lemon filling!

Thanks my CC friends for trying the recipe. I'm glad you all liked it. I use this recipe for all my fillings and only change the pudding/extract combo. I love it, so far I've had a lot of positive reviews from those who have tried it.

Hi Ideasinicing, I used this recipe and substituted raspberry for the flavor to go with the silver wedding cake in my photos. I had no problems with it in there.

The first time I tried this recipe I thought it was excellent though a little too sweet. Tried it again and left out the sugar and that did the trick. I think the sweetness of the pudding is enough to make an excellent filling.

I made a batch of this filling today to try it out, and it is sooooo yummy! I am going to be using it for my husband's grandmother 80th birthday party. Thanks for sharing!!! I will let you know what they think after the weekend. I am pumped.

Cupcake filling...how did that work out bmarlow001?? I never thought to put it into cupcakes...and I've been looking for a good cupcake filling. :D

I found this to be "perfectly" lemony, not overpoweringly flavored as lemon fillings can sometimes be. Very light and fluffy! I used it with white cake, and added thinly sliced fresh strawberries to each layer (layer of filling, topped with strawberries) It was so light and wonderful for spring!

Mamacetadidos - I just got the cupcake filler tip from wilton and stuck it in the center of my cupcakes.. I made them for work and everyone L-O-V-E-D them! :) I don't even work there anymore and I get orders for cakes with this same filling!

Think this filling will be OK unrefrigerated for a wedding cake? I planned to do homemade Lemon Curd but I think I need to change b/c of the eggs?

I love this filling!! It is so easy... I didn't even measure anything. I creamed the cream cheese with a little bit of sugar (not quite 1/2 cup because I didn't want too sweet) then added all the other ingredients and whipped until fluffy. I used a whole small carton of heavy whipping cream and it was perfect (added a little at a time to make sure it wouldn't be too thin). It tastes so light an refreshing. I can't wait to try in other flavors. Made enough to fill a 10inch and 8inch round, with a little left over. Thank you!!! =)

Any ideas on how to make this peach flavored? Would peach jello work instead of the pudding? And maybe just vanilla extract? Has anyone tried?

Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I used not just for the filling on my lemon cupcakes but also frosted them with it!! Can't wait to pass them out to church friends tomorrow and get their responses!! But I LOVE my sample one!!! :)

I used this recipe as a filling for my lemon cupcakes (which I used the moist lemon cake recipe from CC) and I frosted them with my own raspberry buttercream icing. They were SO DEEEELICIOUS!!! Thanks for this amazing recipe! Whenever anyone asks me for a lemon filling this is definitely my go to recipe :)

This is awesome, I used it as a swirl for lemon cupcakes for a client, she loved them! Mamamade, if you had clumps the cream cheese probably wasn't softened enough. Butter and cream cheese must be soft in order to achieve a creamy texture.

on

I replaced granulated sugar with about 1/4 cup powdered sugar (but I think I will omit sugar next time all together). The filling is absolutely wonderful! I was able to fill an 8" lemon square cake and still had filling left over. I too used a whole small carton of heavy cream for this and the consistency was just right! Thank you for a great recipe!

Excellent filling! Added the zest of a lemon to mine and it was a hit. Do not like as a topping on cupcakes as it gets "gummy" but is perfect-and easy- for a filling. Am going to try with other pudding flavors-will post results.

For my 50th birthday, I put the filling on the inside of a vanilla cake and lemon cupcakes. It was delicious. Everyone loved it.
