I looked up macaroons and will make my own if I every make this again as they seem quite simple and for the person worried about celiac disease--no flour! I went to three major grocery store chains and was unable to find lime sherbet in any size and only half-gallons sizes of raspberry and orange sherbet. I wonder if this recipe was printed from 1950-60 sources without updating for today's ingredients and processes. It would be nice to know how many cups of macaroon crumbles are needed. I found 8 bakery macaroons was probably a bit too much as they might be larger than packaged cookies. I also found it helpful to freeze in between each layer. I substituted lime frozen yogurt since I could not find lime sherbet and lime flavor seemed needed.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-06-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"dlangford1"},"reviewBody":"This dessert is very refreshing on a hot day. It's a nice blend of tastes. I substituted pecan shortbread cookies (sandies?) instead of macaroons and pecans, and it tasted great. Also, I couldn't find the three separate types of sherbet, but the store had a gallon of rainbow sherbet and that worked fine. It didn't have the layers as shown in the picture, but still was very pretty.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-07-24","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"lisa8251"},"reviewBody":"This looks so good!
