This desert appeals to children of all ages, it is a homey, and homely, classic ~ attractive in its own strange way, and very tasty. I have seen it served with whipped cream and fruit toppings, so let your imagination run wild with the toppings. This is a Pennsylvania-Dutch recipe, and was printed in the food section of the September 25, 1986 Austin American-Statesman.
