Lemon Delicious
"On a quest to find the recipe I used to make years ago and the DH asked to make this one from Super Food Ideas July 2008, even though I knew it wasn't IT but he really enjoyed it and thought it was great, so I am posting but will continue my quest to find IT."

This was a delightful dessert. I had a bite as soon as I pulled it from the oven. It was warm, lemony heaven. -
I loved this i had 2 after lunch today. Made for Ed'n 9: MAKE MY RECIPE- Tag game -
As with TasteTester, I used 4 large custard cups for this recipe & this very lemony dessert was AWESOME, but then we're lemon lovers, so. . . ~ I even used generously rounded measures of the lemon zest! Thanks, much, for a great lemon treat! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Maky My Recipe tag] -
My sons love recipes with lemon, so this one caught my eye. It turned out beautifully browned after baking (and thank goodness they didn't rise up over the custard cups -- I only had 4 and filled them to the top). They came out with a cake-like layer on the top and a very pudding-like layer on the bottom. When I took them out of the oven, let them cool for about 20 minutes and served them, there was a crisp topping like a creme brulee; your spoon cracked through the top and made for a great texture with the other layers. After refrigerating the one that was left, the top crust got soft -- for the very best texture and taste I would recommend serving them before refrigerating them. Thanks for posting, Pat!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
