This came from my grandmother, whose family owned a bakery. My grandmother's was the full-fat version and I didn't want to mess with perfection too much, so I only made a few healthier substitutions. It's sweet, lemony and light, and we occasionally slice fresh strawberries over the top. -Nancy Brown, Dahinda, Illinois
