    This was SOO good and so pretty! :) I used fresh fruits(peaches, tiny grapes, and raspberries) and I passed on the ice cream and used fresh whipped cream, instead. I had it for breakfast and it was perfect! :) I did add a touch more lemon, as I love lemon and I like things a bit on the tart side, but it was quick and easy and will be made again, for sure! Thank you for the recipe! :)
