Lemon Lush

Lemon Lush is a delicious five star dessert! My sister made this for Thanksgiving dinner as an alternative for people who don’t care for pies. Everyone chose this over pies! She is still getting asked for the recipe! Reccommended for any occasion as well as any potluck since it will travel well too!
