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.

FOLKS! It's a yummy dessert, NOT rocket science-

If you like lime sherbet, add some! If you want it in a square dish, go for it! Take a chance!

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.
