@We rescue cats

It's about time they came up with something like that. Recipes with sweetened condensed milk are ridiculously high in sugar and not good for anyone's health.

Sometimes subbing Splenda for sugar doesn't work out well with things that need to thicken...but will try it - worth the attempt even if I have to drink it! LOL!!

I like to stir in a teaspoon of vanilla to the filling.

Vanilla makes a whole lot of things better.

It's not "lemon ice box." They are separate things!

I'm old enough that I remember having an ICE BOX and the ice man brought ice to keep it cool! Pre Fridge!
