This is the way this dessert used to be made and, for my part, it was much better than the modern Cool Whip and Vanilla Pudding "way of doing it" It takes time, yes.......but , some traditions are worth carrying on. Read more My husband, the boys and even my in-laws all agree that this is REALLY good. (Note: This is not my grandmother's original recipe but I know it must have been the exact way she made it because it tastes the same. I was fortunate to find this recipe in my Apil-May issue of Taste of the South.) See less
