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!

Could not find Lemon sherbet; so i used more Orange and Lime. I'll try other flavors also. Everyone loved it. Corky

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!

I cut the butter in half for the crust, it was still so good that I have been using it with all different types of fillings. I also substituted lemon wafer cookies once with a lime filling...yum.

I think what rhoades means is on the e-mail it says lemon, LIME, and orange sherbet, but no mention of LIME in this recipe. Could someone please correct this as I would like to make this dessert. Thank you. P.s. Someone needs to review these recipes before sending them out.

The recipe describes this has having lemon, lime and orange sherbet but there is no mention of lime sherbet in the list of ingredients. Is there also a pint of lime sherbet to be added with the other two?

What kind of pan you use depends on how you will serve it. If you want it on display first before serving then the springform pan will allow you to get the crust out of the pan and put it on a plate. If you just want to serve it like a pie--then a pie pan should work. Let us know when you try it!!

What about a regular pie pan or Pyrex pie dish?

I make a sherbet pie often in the summer. Using Cool Whip and crushed vanilla wafers for the crust and using rainbow sherbet.

P.S. Would I up the amount of vanilla wafers and pecans to make up for the loss of the coconut?

I think the lime sherbet was just missed when it was put on line. Just get a pint of lime sherbet to add to the others and follow the directions. As mentined by Angelizz10, I too would use sugar-free. Angel's other suggestions were great also.

To lower the calories even more, use Sugar-Free vanilla cookies and the new Sugar-Free sherberts! Use any combination of the citrus sherberts. Try the Mango Sherbert, swirled with the lime and top off with a dollop of Cool Whip (Sugar Free, of course) and shavings of lime zest. Magnificent.

Where is the instruction for the lime sherbet for the question above.

The intro says Lemon, Lime and Orange Sherbet but the ingredient list only has Lemon and Orange. Where's the error?
Will it make up ok without the coconut? Help.

This looks so great --- I also think I will go ahead and make it including the lime sherbert as well - just to see what happens. Should be good!

So, what is the answer? Was the lime sherbert left out? I think I will try it and just add it anyway.

Did you leave out the lime sherbet in the ingredients list on the swirled sherbet dessert recipe posted on email dated 7/30/09?

Although the description says lime sherbet is in the recipe, the ingredients don't list it. I think the lime wold be a great addition for color as well as taste.
