This lemon and cream cheese dessert has always been a hit with me. It has also been a hit with my family and friends. It’s a definite family request at our holiday get togethers and all our summer picnics!
It tastes just like a cool & creamy version of lemon meringue pie, but better
It sounds like it takes some work but it’s really quite easy to put together!
