txhurl, it occurred to me I was rude in the ice cream post. I shouldn't blather so much. Please accept my apology if I offended.

Liz, I love those pavlovas. My mom used to make the lemon cream one for her club. There was a great article in the Wall Street Journal awhile back but I need a subscription to get in now. Luckily I saved the whole thing in my recipes along with the photos.

I devised a shortcut for the lemon filling by using Jello Lemon cooked pudding and pie filling (for lemon meringue pie), cooling it and folding in a lot of whipped cream, then top off with more whipped cream. It made enough two two the size of an 8-inch pie pan.

We didn't have parchment paper back then and mine always stuck but I did finally get them loose fairly intact.

At different sites on the web, there is a raspberry curd one that sounds good. There's a key lime one. An orange cream one. A blood orange one would be neat.

Those are among my very favorites, too. My mom also made a meringue dessert consisting of two (or three) sheets of meringue on jelly roll pans. Then she would layer them with sweetened whipped cream and crushed Heath candy bars.

Skor bars are better now but I can't find them. Heath started using cheaper ingredients it tastes like.
