Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Almost always served with peaches and half and half. Mom would put up peaches each summer so that we could have them with cake in the winter. Every once in a while she would serve it with ice cream if she had no peaches. Mom always got a hug and kiss from Samuel when dessert involved the ingredient chocolate!
