Yesterday again I was sitting in another medical office. It's amazing the library of magazines some offices have. I found this recipe which uses Lemon Drops..and thought it might be interesting and good. This the describion it gave. "Light, cool, tart, and sweet. Our delicious icebox pie is everything a summer dessert should be. Make this no-bake dessert recipe ahead of time and serve it straight from the fridge on a hot summer night."
