I've made this before, but don't remember where I got the recipe. It was delish. I used a jar of lemon curd to top it with, which was delicious. This was creamy and refreshing and has a perfect lemon flavor. Very simple and quick.

Light, cool, delicious and easy...what more could you ask for. This is a great dessert. If you like lemon, you should try this at least once. I will be making this one again! Thanx, marie!
