"You don't need to give up delicious treats just because you are eating lighter!" writes Mitzi Sentiff of Alexandria, Virginia. Her refreshing four-ingredient dessert is easy to prepare...and so pretty to serve. Layers of creamy ice-cold sherbet alternate with a crunchy combination of cookie crumbs and chopped nuts in the warm-weather treat.
