My mother first served this light and refreshing dessert at a dinner for my brother, his new bride and their wedding guests back in the early '40's. When I go married in '47, I made sure I had the recipe.

Has anyone tried this using a sugar substitute? My husband is diabetic, and this used to be one of his favorite desserts. - would love to hear from anyone about this!
