Made exactly as directed except I omitted the crust and put the filling in glasses. Using the food processor it's made in almost no time at all and yields a treat that lives up to it's name, Luscious Lemon. The lemon is on the milder side so if you prefer a strong lemon nip you may want to add an bit of lemon juice or extract. I love it just the way it is. This is quick and easy enough to make for the kids and can be dressed up easily for company. Thanks Kate for another keeper! Made for Photo Tag.

Made this pie for my dad and he loved it! I have trouble with sugar substitutes and migraines so I didnt eat a piece but it sure smelled good when I was making it. Dissolved the jello in the saucepan that I boiled the water in and let it sit while I made the filling. The instructions didnt say how long to beat the yogurt and pudding mixture so I guessed and kept beating until the the mix was thickened. I did buy a graham cracker crust instead of making one because my pie crusts are horrible. Kate I am sure I will be making this pie again for my dad, he really enjoyed it!
