“This came from my grandmother, whose family owned a bakery. My grandmother's was the full-fat version and I didn’t want to mess with perfection too much, so I only made a few healthier substitutions. It's sweet, lemony and light, and we occasionally slice fresh strawberries over the top.” Nancy Brown - Dahinda, Illinois

Making GelatinWhen making gelatin, stir the powder and hot liquid with a slotted spoon. This keeps clumps of powder from sticking to the sides of the dish. —Jeanette S., Erie, Pennsylvania

Great, light dessert. Didn't have the separation issues that some of the others have posted. Will make again and top with fresh berries.

Not sure if I will make this recipe again. Can you beat the canned milk to long? When puring into the cake pan it seems to be separating. It does remind me and my sister if a recipe our mother made when we where kids. She always used "Milton" brand canned milk and it always worked up great. Cannot find "Minot" brand in my part of TX. Would like to know about beating the canned milk to long though. If anyone knows please let me know.

I love this dessert! Can't believe it is so low in fat and calories!

I made this for a cookout, and it tasted pretty good for a low-fat dessert. However, there was some separation on the filling after being in the fridge. It didn't look like the picture here. It almost looked like lemon curd above the graham cracker crust, and the top looked almost like a meringue. I'm not too fond of the texture of meringue, so while it was good, I doubt I'll make it again.

Light and delicious! Would definitely recommend! (used fat-free evaporated milk as a substitute)
