If your time is limited, use canned vanilla frosting instead of making homemade. Look for frosting in the baking section of most supermarkets.
Great Pairings
Lemon Ricotta Mousse
Save both money and calories by substituting plain or lemon-flavored yogurt for the whipping cream called for in this light and refreshing dessert. The result will be tangier but still cold, creamy and lemony.
