Submitted by chef FIFI

"My neighbor Aggie is the first person to introduce me to this scrumptious recipe,she has since past away, but every time I think of the recipe I think of her. Her recipe called for the use of raw eggs, I have amended it, and my version is equally scrumptious."

This dessert is wonderful. I took it to our family reunion last year. Nothing was left. Will be making it again this year for our reunion.
