I use this recipe all the time... it is really good. We always called them either "Hawaiian Haystacks" or "Chinese Sundaes" although of course they really have nothing to do with either culture... I have not heard anyone else but me and people from my area call them chinese sundaes though, my roommates in college thought I was crazy! :)

This recipe has been in my family for years. We use sliced almonds instead of peanuts, no mushrooms and add a cherry to the top to finish the sundae look. I think it's a classic 70's recipe that was passed around church groups back then.<br/><br/>Indeed it is not even remotely Chinese, but it is a fun holiday get together dinner. We would often make this for New Year's Eve as a party dinner and only add Chinese tea and a fortune cookie atop a dish of orange sherbert. Again, not at all Chinese, but fun never-the-less. The flavors really do go together nicely and having served this to dozens of people of all nationalities, they come back for more. It's a meal that must be experienced to appreciate!
