"This surprised me. I ate it at a friend's barbecue and asked for the recipe. When she told me, I was stunned. This is not too sweet and very easy to put together. Cooking time is chilling time."

Can Cool Whip be substituted for heavy cream? Some family members are lactose intolerant.

Could you substitute lemon curd for lemon pie filling, which I cannot find in my grocery store?

Could you use lemon curd in place of lemon pudding or pie filling? Can't find ingredient listed in recipe.

Lucky leaf is not sold where I live, what would be a good substitute?

This was a nice refreshing dessert. I think it would be wonderful on top of angel food cake with berries during the summer too!

Wonderful, light, easy recipe!! I prepared this and put it into a homemade graham cracker crust, topped with sliced strawberries. I brought it to the inlaws for Easter dinner. It was a huge hit! No one would guess it was this easy!! This is definitely in my top 10 dessert list!! Thanks

Any canned lemon pie filling should work. Check the ounces in case the can size is different.

This is really really good. I will make this again and again. I will try adding some fresh lemon zest or juice to my next batch to make it a little more lemony. Personal taste. Thanks

Very, very easy dessert. I rated it 4 stars based on taste. I would prefer a slightly stronger lemon flavor and a bit sweeter, but it couldn't have been quicker to put together. Thanks for sharing!
