Pineapple and lemon prove they go together perfectly with this easy dessert with only three ingredients. This recipe takes my favorite classic pineapple dessert and swaps lemon pudding in place of vanilla. This simple swap adds a whole new flavor twist that you will be sure to love. The lemon wedge garnish is perfect for serving guests.

The delish dessert is perfect for a quick fix at home for that sweet tooth but also works to bring to parties. It doubles and triples easily so you can make as much as you need. You will definitely be the talk of your office party if you bring this in. It's pretty served in mini parfait glasses but can also be served right in a bowl. Anything goes, really. It also makes for an unbelievable topping for cake and even better as a layer or two in a trifle. I hear that idea bulb going off in my head as I type this. The possibilities are so there with this one.
