The Verdict.
This is the dessert my sister-in-law Sharon brought to my birthday party luncheon. It's a recipe her mother used to make for her bridge club, back in the good old days! It was light and refreshing, the way lemon desserts should be, and a perfect finish to a ladies lunch. We added a few sliced strawberries to trim it up!
