"My husband loves this! It's an old recipe from his mother and has all the characteristics of an old, time tested family favorite recipe. Elegant and beautiful to see, as well as a bright and lovely flavor. Cooking time reflects chilling time."

Made for PAC, Spring 2007 ~ Was tempted [as always!] to include some lemon zest, but this time I didn't, & I'm glad, 'cause this dessert had a nice delicate lemon taste to it that I really liked! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
