3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 cups milk
1 cup half and half
1 cup lemon juice
2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups of whipped topping (cool whip or canned whip cream)
3 to 4 drops of yellow food coloring.
Mint for garnish
This is a creamy sweet dessert that you can make in less than 30 minutes. I’ts great served with pound cake or crispy cookies.

 

  • In a large sauce pan, combine the sugar and cornstarch.
  • Gradually pour in milk and half and half, until smooth.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in lemon juice, lemon peel and vanilla.
  • Set sauce pan in a large bowl filled with ice.
  • Stir until mixture reaches room temperature, about 5 minutes.
  • Fold in whipped topping and food coloring.
  • Spoon into dessert dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Garnish with several mint leaves.
