Submitted by Cas Blakey

"This dessert is a favorite in our family-- we use it for family reunion's, party's, and all our "get togethers". My mom taught me how to make it-- I'm not sure where she got it from though."

Excellent!! Definately a hit at our house! I was looking for an easy dessert to make, and this was both easy and tasty. The only thing I did different was to leave the cream cheese sitting out on the counter to get to room temperature instead of microwaving it. It worked great!
