"This dessert has it all, rich creamy texture with a sweetness that can cool you down on a nice hot summer day, or relax you in front of a warm fireplace on a cold winter's night. For any time of the day, whatever season it is, try this recipe. Just as the name suggest, just DUMP everything into a large bowl, blend well, refrigerate, and serve. It's sure to please the pallet."
