This recipe tasted nothing at all like the one from the Olive Garden. My husband and I both LOVE the original and we both agree this not only tasted nothing like it, but was just no good. It tasted like cheap lemon pudding on white cake. I wasn't impressed and was very dissapointed -- I've tried finding the original recipe everywhere!
