B Jackie Lindley
Illinois cook Geneva Crumrin shared this recipe with me a couple of years ago. I was at her daughter-in-law’s having my hair cut and while visiting, she started talking about this dessert.
She first tried it at a meeting in someone’s home. She couldn’t say enough about it.
It really is good. I use the sugar-free instead of regular pudding and gelatin. This is written the way she gave it to me.
Thanks Geneva.
