"This recipe is from my mother's collection and is torn out of an old Ladies' Home Journal. It must be from the 60's...I wish I could show you the great hair flip on the woman with pearls making this. Did all our mother's wear dresses and pearls to cook in?"

My DH loved this. I used ginersnaps instead of graham crackers (cant get them here) and also desicated coconut as I was not ablt to find angel flake coconut. But everything else I followed exactly and it turned out perfect. Easy to make and such a great lemon flavour. Such a lovely light and cool dessert, will be perfect for summer! Thanks for a great recipe Mary.

I halved the recipe and made these as individual tarts with jumbo muffin tins. I got 4 beautiful desserts. Simple to make, and ready in no time. Thanks for posting.
