Joe’s Favorite

It’s time for dessert since you had soup yesterday.

This was Joe’s favorite dessert and got me out of the doghouse on more than one occasion.

When my mother-in-law taught me how to make this she stated the mixture had to be beaten EXACTLY 5 minutes, not a second more or less.  Why I do not know.

I usually make this to take when I go to my brother-in-law’s for Christmas.  It always is a big hit.

Enjoy.
