After a big meal, folks really go for this light lemon treat. The shortbread crust is the perfect base for the fluffy top layers. I've prepared this sunny dessert for church suppers for years and always get recipe requests. -Muriel Dewitt, Maynard, Massachusetts

The family loved it. Not too heavy.

Very easy,turned out well. The bottom crust is a bit too thick, would leave about 1/2-3/4 cup out of crust portion.

This dessert is fantastic! The short bread crust makes it extra good.

This dessert is delicious! For a lighter version, you can make it with sugar-free pudding, lite whipped topping, and 1/3 less fat cream cheese. It tastes just as yummy!
