Luscious Lemon Cream

"This Lemon Cream does not contain yogurt or pudding or sour cream. It is simply the best lemon cream ever! You can use this to dip any fruit or top a cheesecake with it. Its use is limited only by your imagination. I LOVE this stuff!"

My MIL makes this for every party. She made it this w/e but had trouble finding her recipe so I told her I'd post it online. Sure enough it's already here. The only difference is that she uses 2 cups of cool whip instead of the whipping cream. And for my notes she uses ReaLemon brand lemon juice from concentrate.
