Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
A funny (but long) story goes along with this recipe. A friend shared this recipe as I had eaten it at her house. I made it to take to dinner at a friend's house where I was asked to bring dessert. Instead of taking the can of whipped cream with me, I thought I would put it on beforehand. I added the whipped cream and it looked beautiful. When I took it out of the frig - OHHHHHNOOOO - the whipped cream was flat as a flitter ! I jerked the can of whipped cream out to take it with me. We get in the car to a about 1 1/2 blocks to our friends.....by the time we got there the whipped cream had run all over me, my clothes and the car. I had to use a kleenex to wipe off enough to get in her house - ran to the sink - cleaned it up
as best I could, then added whipped cream to serve. NOTE TO SELF - Either use cool whip or don't add the whipped cream til the last minute. Only me.........
