*This past weekend we had friends from Colorado staying with us. We hosted a party on Saturday night for a group of mutual friends.
*My wife was trying to think of a dessert and I remembered this one. It goes way back to my childhood and we would have it at our neighborhood 4th of July parties every year.
*We have made it (or she has) many times over the years. It has become a family favorite.
*She granted my wish and whipped this up so it was ready to serve at our party.
*It did not disappoint and was a huge hit with all of our guests.
*This is the perfect summer time dessert. Enjoy!
