Published in the May 1951 issue of Ford magazine came from a restaurant outside of Harrison, AR. The restaurant, Spring Lake, operated in the late 40s through the 60s and into the 70s i am not sure when it closed but this was their recipe and signature dessert i have been serving it for over 50 years

Bev you must know that everyone (even DH!) raved about this dessert. It's a great make ahead, I put it together early this morning and it was great to have it ready to serve after supper. I did omit the ice cream as I didn't really think it was needed with all of the cream and chocolate. It's not difficult to make and looks great!. I made a 1/2 recipe in a glass bowl and let everyone serve themselves.
