This is a super easy dessert and, even though you may think it is too hot to use the oven, it is well worth it. Make it early in the morning or later in the evening and the house will not heat up as much. My daughter has friends that shares recipes with her. Their group is called “Housewives of Frederick County” (Maryland) and they have given me permission to share their recipes with you. This particular one has been handed down from grandmothers and will become one of your favorites. Enjoy!
