My husband always requests this dessert for his birthday, something his mom used to make. My family complains it’s too sweet & hurts their teeth. Once a year won’t kill anyone & birthday boy can pick whatever he wants. I would prefer to cut the sugar, butter & egg yolks & try a cooked pudding to fold into the Cool Whip but my hubby won’t hear of it. Adding fresh strawberries would probably be tasty too.

My mom used to make this when I was a kid and I tracked down this recipe on a bit of a nostalgic trip. There are other recipes on the internet that call for pudding mix….avoid those and make this one! I followed recipe exactly, turned out delicious and rich, just as I remembered.

When I want dessert I want to know that is what I’m having… this fits the bill. It is yummy sweetness! Over the top sweetness. When I make it my sons devour it along with taking it to potlucks it disappears. Like I said, straight yumminess

I only use about a half cup of confectioners sugar. Can be used with any candy bars. Our family go to for birthdays!

Ridiculously sweet and tangy. Almost too rich. Sweet on sweet on sweet was a bit much, I think. Once in a year type of thing.

I added sliced strawberries to it and it turned out great! Everyone loved it.
