Hawaiian Dessert
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min. + chilling
YIELD: 24 servings.
Chilled, fluffy, Hawaiian desserts like this one are a satisfying way to finish off a big meal. I got the recipe from a woman I happened to meet in a department store one day. Leftovers taste just as good the next day, and this dessert also can be frozen. — Eunice Stoen, Decorah, Iowa
