I used rainbow sherbet, too. I also used light Country Crock instead of butter and reduced fat Nilla wafers. It turned out great with lower fat!

I made this using a sherbert in the carton called fruit punch and tangerine! It was absolutely delicious! We all loved it.... I toasted the pecans and coconut slightly! YUM YUM!!

As a shortcut I used rainbow sherbet. It was wonderful. I served it to company last night and everybody raved about it. The crust has a great taste

I couldn't find lemon sherbert, so I used rainbow sherbert,(orange, raspberry, and lime). Everyone loved it. I also used low fat vanilla wafers, lowering the calories.

Absolutely delicious. Didn't change a thing. I've made it twice since last week. This one is a keeper. My husband has to have dessert with his dinner but they need to be light, low fat & low sugar.

Can't buy lemon sherbert in S. Texas for some reason, so I will use orange and pineapple. Should be great!
