Glaucia, this was VERY VERY good! It was so light and ever so light taste of lemon. So easy to make, the whole family really enjoyed this one! I used the lighter cream cheese, and you can't even tell! That is my kind of dessert! Thanks for sharing with us. Made this for the Aussie/Kiwi recipe swap 2008.
