Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Traditionally this recipe was made with really thick farm cream but since that’s not really an option anymore, Francie says Walmart’s heavy cream is the thickest she’s found. Dianna says to use crème fresh (if you can get it) or a mixture of 2 cups mascarpone and 1 cup heavy cream. Francie also says she doesn’t use the egg wash.
