I started the day wanting to make lemon meringue pie, but after a series of "accidents" remembered that I had this in my cookbook and all the ingredients, so made this instead. Despite messing this up, forgot to soften the cream cheese so had little bits that looked like cottage cheese. Forgot the egg yolks, so added it later than called for. And still this turned out wonderfully delicious! Topped it with whipped cream. Thank you for saving my day! My SIL said this was her kind of dessert!! Next time I promise to do this correctly. LOL.
