This stunning appetizer is a hit for any event whether it be a holiday or special occasion. The topping is only 3 ingredients which means it’s easy and quick to prepare. Garnish with fresh raspberries for a mouthwatering presentation. No one has to know it was hardly any effort…
This recipe was given to me by my cousin Barbra. Many years ago, like 9 years ago, she hosted a baby shower for me when I was expecting my first little bundle. I can DISTINCTLY remember sitting on her couch talking to my friend Stephanie Black when she placed this masterpiece on her coffee table in front of us. After tasting the first bite, I KNEW I needed that recipe! I finally made it a point to have her write it down and give it to me. You know something has made an impression on you when you can still remember it 9 years later! Ha! It’s just as delicious as I remember it and waaaay more easy to prepare than I ever thought! Try it for your next gathering and watch it disappear!
Hmmmm, now if I can only just get her hunky blue-eyed firefight’n hubby to give me his KILLER key lime pie recipe… all will be right in the world.
