#### For the Lemon Layer:
– **1 cup lemon juice** – Freshly squeezed is always best for a bright, tart flavor.
– **1/2 cup sugar** – To balance the tartness of the lemon.
– **1 package lemon-flavored gelatin** – This will help set the lemon layer and give it a lovely texture.
– **1 cup boiling water** – To dissolve the gelatin.
– **1 1/2 cups cold water** – To help the gelatin set.
#### For the Vanilla Layer:
– **1 package vanilla pudding mix** (instant or cook & serve) – This is the base of the creamy, dreamy vanilla layer.
– **2 cups milk** – Full-fat milk works best for a rich, creamy texture.
– **1/2 cup whipped cream** – For extra lightness and fluffiness.
– **1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract** – To enhance the vanilla flavor.
