*****Amendment to my May 2008 review: It has been four years since I first discovered this wonderful recipe, and it is still the first that comes to mind when I think of a light, fluffy dessert to serve after a heavy meal. I have made and enjoyed it numerous times, and many people have either requested the recipe or for me to make it. As a matter of fact, my mother-in-law requested that I make it for Easter dinner. It's an A dessert every time! I just wanted to let you know how much my family and I appreciate your sharing this recipe!***** 2008 Review: What a light, heavenly dessert! I made this for our Mother's Day dinner, and everyone LOVED it. I was surprised how light it was and thought the lemon flavor was just right. I have never whipped evaporated milk before, so I didn't know how foamy and light it could be. What a wonderful alternative to heavy whipping cream! My family and I agreed this recipe is worth not only five stars but 10! I plan to use this recipe again with other flavors of JELL-O. Thanks for a keeper!Reply

I've had this in my To Try cookbook since not too long after it was posted! Glad that I finally tried it. I made it without any crust, fat free evap milk and with Splenda for a lovely light and fluffy dessert in a dish instead of on a plate. I did also add 3 drops of lemon extract just to insure a rich lemony flavor. Two thumbs up. :DReply

I've never whipped evaporated milk, and was quite surprised at it's volume. This dessert is very light and the lemon flavour quite refreshing. This will be wonderful on a hot afternoon. I used Splenda in place of the sugar. Thanks Seasoned Cook....another wonderful recipe. Made for the May Pool Party Tag in the Diabetic ForumReply
