When I was a new bride almost 50 years ago, my husband gave me a mixer for my birthday. Thei lemon filling was in the small recipe book that came with it. The tangy flavor always takes me back to those days of trying out recipes on my husband." —Alyce McCrary, Leighton, Alabama

Yummy. The first time I made it I took it to a big BBQ and it was a huge hit everyone loved it and asked for recipe. I now make it often as a family favorite. I short cut it w/the 2 cans of lemon pie filling and it is great.

Very Yummy. I also cheated and used 2 cans of lemon pie filling and everyone loves it, takes like I've slaved for hours. It quickly became a family favorite.

This is YUMMY!!!!! I don't have a trifle bowl, so I actually just layer this in my 9x13 pan, but nobody complains! :) I also reduce the sugar in the cream cheese layer to 1 cup. This is definitely a winning recipe!!!

This is one of my favorite recipes. The nutritional information is quite alarming but using reduced-fat butter, ff cream cheese and ff whipped topping it should help. Also, the recipe definitely serves way more than 9!

I'm not one to try recipes with a lot of steps (such as this one), so I cheated on this recipe when I made it. I used two large cans of lemon pie filling instead of making the "Lemon Layer" part and it was SO much easier (and faster). Everyone loved this dessert and I've had several requests for the recipe since. I will make this again and again (short-cutting with the pie filling every time, of course)!

My husband and friends really enjoyed this trifle. It could easily serve 12, not 9 like the recipe says. I am putting it in my recipe box because everyone liked it, but I am reluctant to make it again because it was very time-consuming and ... I looked at the nutrition info! Oh my! I don't know if I could serve it to my family again knowing it is 885 calories per serving!

This was very, very good. I've made it about 3 times, and everyone enjoys it. The pecan-shortbread crust melts in your mouth.
