Here is an easy recipe to make a Frozen Limoncello Dessert that includes toasted coconut and is so delicious.
Y’all, I recently made homemade limoncello liqueur, and it is wonderful to use in this tasty, refreshing recipe. You can see the homemade limoncello recipes here.
This recipe includes alcoholic liqueur; however, the alcohol content per serving is minimal. Please look at the recipe options below if you’d prefer a nonalcoholic version.
In addition, if you need more time to make your limoncello or want to, you can purchase it at your local wine or alcoholic beverage store.

It’s so easy even I’ll make it – Limoncello Dessert
Honestly, this limoncello dessert recipe is so easy even I’ll make it, and I love that it can be made up to a week ahead of your party.
It’s only a few simple ingredients.
You can make it with a purchased graham cracker crust if you’d like, but the tart pan makes for a pretty presentation.
Homemade Dessert Crust
If you make a homemade crust, you will want to begin by mixing your ingredients and pressing them into a greased removable bottom tart pan. I used a rectangular pan, but a round tart pan will also be pretty.
Bake the crust at 350 degrees for approx. 10 minutes until set.
Be sure to allow the crust to cool before adding the filling.
Limoncello Dessert Filling
While the crust is cooling, make your filling by pouring whipping creme into a mixing bowl. Then, use a hand-held mixer to beat until it is thick, with a consistency that doesn’t fall from a spoon easily.
Add the zest of 2 lemons, lemon juice, limoncello, and sweetened condensed milk and mix well.
Pour the mixture onto the cooled tart crust and sprinkle toasted coconut over the tops of the filling.
You can eliminate the coconut if you prefer and still have a tasty dessert.
Place in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours up to a week.
Just before serving, remove from the freezer and garnish. I used lemons and blackberries, but any fruit would be pretty on the Limoncello Dessert.
