LEMON CRUNCH DESSERT
This dessert is so light and airy, it's going to be real hard not to eat the whole pie at once. It's sweet, tangy, and bursting with lemon flavor. The gingersnap cookie crust and the ginger/almond topping add a nice crunch to the pie. It will be a favorite at your next party.

Steps:
- 1. Have a 9 1/2 or 10-inch pie plate ready.
- 2. Crust: Crush cookies in food processor until you have fine crumbs. Add softened butter until moist. Then save a 1/4 cup of the crumb mixture for topping.
- 3. Press remaining crumb mixture in bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until crust is firm.
- 4. Meanwhile, make the mousse. In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water.
- 5. Stir in lemon sherbet until melted, then yogurt until blended. Refrigerate 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, or until mixture starts to set up and thick enough to hold its shape when dropped from a spoon. Gently stir in whipped topping until well blended.
- 6. Spread slightly less than half the mixture over the crust. Top with sliced strawberries.
- 7. Then add remaining mousse mixture, mounding slightly in center. Refrigerate up to 2 days at this point.
- 8. Topping: Mix the reserved 1/4 cup crumb mixture, the almonds, and sugar in a small (preferably non-stick) pan. Stir constantly over med-low heat 2 to 3 minutes (watch carefully it may burn). Cool completely.
- 9. Before serving sprinkle on top of pie and garnish with fanned strawberries and lemon slices.
- 10. NOTE: I made this for Easter and decided to use a springform pan. It turned out great! It should be easier to cut this way than in a pie plate.
