Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When I was young, we visited Uncle Jack & Aunt Doris in Kalamazoo. Aunt Doris served this dessert ~ I thought it was the best thing I had ever tasted!

The recipe above is the original and the best. However, an "eggless" variation for the second layer is to substitute 8 oz. cream cheese for the eggs, beating until oleo, cream cheese and powdered sugar are well combined. This will not be as fluffy as the original recipe. A tsp. of vanilla may also be added to the second layer if desired.
