I knew that this cool, fruit and creamy dessert was a winner the first time I tasted it. I confirmed that fact a few summers ago when I entered the recipe in a contest at work—it won first place. Co-workers still call to request it. —Mary Olson, Albany, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
