I was asked to bring a diabetic-friendly dessert to a dinner party. This recipe is terrific and will definitely go into the repertoire! I added the finely grated zest of 1/2 a lemon and also increased the lemon juice to 1/3 cup as per other reviewers. I'm going to make it with less sugar, but it's easy and delicious.

First time eating or making this. I was looking for something light and cool and this hit the spot. Also shared with some of friends and I was worried because we all have different likes and dislikes on desserts/etc, but it was a hit! Loved it. I did as someone suggested and added extra lemon.

Light and fluffy, good way to top off a big dinner, but I would add twice the amount of lemon juice for a more lemony taste.

Served as dessert after a large pasta dinner. Just the perfect light ending to a heavy meal. Yummm.

Like others, my Mother made this back in the 70's, it was always one of her favorites. And yes, I still make it also. So light - it melts in your mouth.
