” Dessert is like a feel-good song and the best ones make you dance”.
– chef Edward Lee
It has been so rainy the last few weeks..I decided to bring a little sunny into my life with some lemon flavored dessert 🙂
This lemon cream pie in a jar/glass is creamy plus a little tart with just the right amount of sweetness. Oh, and don’t forget about the crunch from the cookies! The cookies soften slightly overnight and, in my opinion it is even better the next day 😉 I used ready made Keebler Sandies Classic Shortbread Cookies – 11.2 oz
Am I the only one amazed by the health benefits from lemons? Do a little research and you will find yourself picking up a few extra lemons at the grocery store..there are so many ways to sneak them into our daily diet!
