Tip

Save Crumbs for Topping Ice Cream

“Don’t discard cookie or cereal crumbs,” advises Marie R. of Bensenville, Illinois. “Use them to top pudding, gelatin and ice cream.”

This was a great recipe for Christmas dinner. I doubled everything but the sour cream middle. It was delicious.

Awesome sweetness/tartness combination, not so good at setting up.

My circle gals loved it & thought it very appropo for a springtime salad. I used black walnuts which gave it a great taste.

I want to try this for my circle meeting next month but was wondering if the recipe can be doubled successfully or should I make it twice for ample servings? Tks
