This is delicious! It's tastes like delicious lemon sherbet, Homemade! Buddha made these with his son Chef #598671 (who accidentally added 1 1/2 Tbsp of lemon zest instead of 2 tsp) but no matter, and they were really easy to prepare! A wonderfully light dessert with the perfect amount of lemon flavor and very creamy. You could probably do this with oranges, raspberries,... Endless possibilities! Definitely, Definitely making these again.... Often! Great summertime treat, thank you so much for posting! Note: We first made these 6/27/08 and have made them many times since (larger quantity and a plastic container for ease rather than presentation), it's a great recipe! :) -
WOW! I exepected this to turn out to be icy, but it wasn't frozen solid in the end- instead it stayed soft like icecream! We made as directed but accidentally we added too much lemon zest. Even though we had put in TBS instead of TSP everyone still thought that there was a perfect amount of lemon flavor. I loved making and eating it but it was too lemony for me. than you for posting this exiting recipe.

<p>I live in Northern California in the town of Placerville. It's a one hour drive East to Lake Tahoe or one hour West to our State Capitol, Sacramento. Great location. <br /> I have been overdue for an update!!! 1/10 <br /> My Boy's are doing well. Nick is still in Australia and Jon is still here at home. They both graduated high school last year. I hope NIck will come to the US for college, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo!!! (we'll see) He may stay down under for college :( <br />Jon is working and figuring out life....he plans on being an entrepreneur im sure. <br />We have two dogs, Jewel and Bob both adopted from the local shelter. They love each other. <br />I love spring and fall the most and love being outdoors. <br />My Boss passed away last year :( I miss him soooo much. <br />This last year has been very hard for me. <br />I am doing better now. <br />Hoping 2010 brings lots of health and happiness to all :) <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /> <br /><img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Octoberevent.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/photo-swap-7sticky.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a142/callylanne/candy.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/craze-e2banner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
