A no-bake delight that combines a crunchy cookie-nut crust with a light lemon cheese filling. And because it's not baked, the freshness of the ingredients shines through. Honey adds a rich sweetness and smoothness to the filling and the cream cheese is a perfect foil for the unique flavor of the honey. Ingredients:
Crust
1-1/2 cups broken vanilla wafer cookies
1/2 cup silvered almonds, toasted
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Filling
11 ounces cream cheese
1-1/2 cups milk, divided use
1/4 cups fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. freshly grated lemon peel
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup honey (We suggest orange blossom, sage or tupelo honey. For help locating varietals visit www.honeylocator.com)
Toppings
fresh fruits, such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries
Honey
Whipped Cream
