Low-Carb Texas Dessert

Submitted by Chris Reynolds

"I got the original recipe, which called for flour and sugar, at a church potluck. I have substituted whey protein powder and Splenda for these ingredients so that low carbers can still enjoy the dessert. Yum! P.S. If you don't care about low carb, simply replace the whey protein powder with flour and the Splenda with sugar."
