This was so good! We really enjoyed our dessert this evening, thanks to you, Inez. I made this exactly as directed with the addition of sliced strawberries which made quite a beautiful presentation! Once again, I thank you! -
Oh yum!! This is so light and delicious for a hot summer day dessert. I thought I'd have leftovers but not a crumb was left - thats how much we loved this. Light, refreshingly sweet and easy to make - five stars in my book. -
This dessert is the best ever! It is so fluffy and smooth. Fantastic lemon flavor. The evaporated milk whips up big and frothy, then you just mix at all together---WOW!! My husband and kids went nuts over this! I predict this will be made a lot here! Thank you very much!! -

Thanks so much for such a super easy and quick recipe! I made a pretzel crust instead of graham cracker and blended my strawberries up and poured the mixture on the crust then topped with the lemon filling. It can't get any better! Thank You! Thank You!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
