Line a 8-inch diameter springform pan with cling film, using enough to extend beyond the edges.Pour the prepared mixture in and level it, then cover everything with cling film and let it rest in the freezer for at least six hours.
After the resting time, you can transfer your no-bake lemon meringue cake onto a serving plate, decorating it as desired with lemon slices, and serve it. If there are leftovers, keep it in the freezer.
