Ladies (and gentleman). Drop whatever you're doing right now and proceed to the kitchen.
Follow the directions below.
In about 40 minutes, start to finish, you will have the best lemon dessert.

This is a super easy recipe -- you need two bowls and a pan. A few ingredients, all of which (except maybe lemons) should be in your pantry. Nothing fancy here folks, except the result.

These will keep in the fridge for a few days, so feel free to make it early and wow your guests on Easter. MAKE THEM NOW! Looking for more Sweets and Eats for the Whole Family" Find Lindsay at Sugar Mama.
