(The 2nd time I made this I doubled the sherbert, I put 1/2 in, freeze 10 min, put 1/2 the cream cheese mixture, freeze 10 min, put remaining sherbert, freeze again 10 min, then final layer of remaining cream cheese mixture & freeze. Much better - not so heavy, lighter & fresher tasting. Got rave reviews from guests! I also made this with pineapple sherbert instead of lemon/lime and left out the juice in the cream cheese mixture, and instead I added a small can of crushed pineapples in it's own juice & a can of frozen Bacardi Pina Colada (non-alcoholic) mix. We couldn't decide which was our favorite!)

(the ratio of sherbet to the creamcheese mixture should be reversed. i would use 4 cups of sherbet and half the creamcheese mixture. it was too over powering. all six of us agreed. but the taste is so refreshing. i've already come up with an orange creamcicle version.)

(This recipe was so easy and DELICIOUS!! My whole family loved it. I didn't find a real need for the foil, though (and it got stuck on a few pieces that i served). Next time i might add a bit more lime sherbet, though. YUMMY!!)
