LEMON FLUFF LAYERED DESSERT
I developed this recipe by combining parts of three of my favorite lemon desserts. Many people have told me that this is the best dessert they have ever had. Note: eventhough this recipe seems complicated, be aware that if you take shortcuts, or use substituted ingredients, the results might be OK, but it definately will not taste the same. Quality ingredients are definately the key to a great recipe.
