I used a sugar free lemon pound cake instead of lady fingers because I could not find lady fingers. I also used sugar free lemon Jello. So the only sugar I used was what it called for. This made an almost sugar free and legal for diabetics. Every one loved it and I made it 3 times in less than a week. Great!!!!!

I made this recipe and the taste was great, but I found the centre to be too soft (on the second day) and the remainder was falling off the Ladyfingers...Any suggestions?? I use all the ingredients as directed.

I used low-fat (1%) evaporated milk to make this recipe and it turned out delicious! My husband's all-time favorite pie is lemon meringue and this is about as close as you can get to it; but this recipe is much easier and healthy!

Super recipe which I made lighter by using sugar free lemon gelatin and light topping. This would even be great made in a mold and without the ladyfingers.

This was wonderful! Very refreshing and a big hit with my family. Will certainly make this again!

Can't find soft ladyfingers

The center was to Airy, had very little taste.

Tried it because of Summer, and you didn't have to bake it. Won't make it again.
