About the Recipe: A buttery rich shortbread crust holds fresh fruit fillings that are creamy with just a tang of lemon. The best part is that you can decide what fruit you might enjoy – lemon, lemon orange, strawberry, raspberry, or whatever one you want to try. It’s always fun to make surprise desserts.
