My mom made something very
similar to this back when I was a kid. She didn't make it for US though.
She mostly made desserts for company and since my dad was a minister,
we had company quite a bit. I always hoped that she didn't invite too
many people over because then I knew there would always be leftover
dessert for later. Now that I'm all grown up and cook for myself...guess
what? I can make this any ole time I want to! This dessert feeds a
bunch...is yummy and simple. What more could you ask for?
