Delightful, Delicious, De-Lemony "Lemon Delight"
From my friend Faye Keel’s recipes:
Lemon Delight is a “childhood into adulthood”favorite dessert. I can remember asking my mom,“When are we going to have that lemon dessert again?” It hasn’t been long since my daughter Meredith asked about the same question. That’s why I was thrilled to see Lemon Delight on the dessert table at a recent low country boil. Yum!
The “can this be this good?” lemon dessert is just right at a potluck dinner, at a low country boil, or anytime you want a dessert that combines a scrumptious taste and a “light”feeling. It is wonderful after a heavy meal when you want a bite of something sweet. The nutty crust is a perfect complement to the creamy lemon &vanilla pudding,Cool Whip, and cream cheese concoction. It is a favorite because it works fall, winter, spring and summer. Enjoy!
