I served this delicious tart treat at our bi-weekly Canasta party. Luckily I had copies of this delightful,refreshing desert recipe ready for my card playing buddies! The easy home toasted coconut is an added taste plus. I am sure it will be a hit at your home also. This recipe was given to me awhile back from a new friend I met in a grocery store Wyoming! It is a treasure, and a keeper. 5-4-12
