Lemon Angel Food Dessert
A Delicious Angel Food Dessert For New Year's Parties
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors. And you can fool yourself into thinking you're eating something healthy, because the fruit has so much vitamin C! At any rate, this dessert is perfect for large parties and potlucks because it makes a large pan and has to be made ahead of time. Place it on the buffet table with a large spoon and some plates and let guests help themselves. For a nice garnish, add a few fresh mint sprigs and sprinkle grated lemon zest over the whole thing.
Happy New Year!
