This dessert is especially pretty and appropriate for the holidays. I updated my mother's recipe using instant oatmeal to make it even easier to fix. —Joyce Sheets, Lafayette, Indiana

this was fantastic! Only change I made was used regular quick oats and not instant. I'll definitely make again. Was really good with vanilla ice cream

I like the traditional oatmeal better. The instant oatmeal is too sweet and the texture too fine.
