I made this for father's day and it was a big hit. Many requested me to make it again. I think I didn't beat it long enough to make it fluff up, I added in a second batch to fill the piecrust. It was very solid and rich. Delicious, but next time I will beat it longer to try to fluff it up. This is my new favorite dessert! Thanks, Cathy!
