My grandmother used to make this dessert when we would have family functions or any gatherings to be honest! I can recall having it at her house all the time and remember her bringing it to events like reunions, baby shower, church potlucks, etc. Now that I have my own family, I love to make it for the kiddos. And they sure love to eat it up. There is never any of it left after a day or two. Once you try this recipe, you will see that it is an instant classic dessert!
