This refreshingly fruity dessert is one of our favorites. It looks so beautiful layered in a glass bowl that people will think you fussed. The secret is starting with a purchased angel food cake. —Lynn Marie Frucci, Pullman, Washington

Love the lemon pudding, I used this recipe as a basis to make a birthday trifle for my very picky friend, it was a huge hit with everyone who had some!

I did add fresh lemon juice to the pudding. It added a little more lemon flavour. It was delicious. Took it to a party, everyone had seconds.

Everyone kept tasting the grated lemon rind. Said next time leave it out so I don't know if I will make it again or not.

5 stars. Everyone loved this dessert. I did add cool whip and more strawberries than the recipe called for.
