My mom is 94 and lives in an assisted living community. She and the ladies she dines with three times a day kept talking about this recipe and wanting to try it. They don't have a kitchen so they aren't able to cook. At the same time, another friend also suggested this recipe, so I decided to try it and share with the ladies. Oh my! They totally enjoyed it. It's a keeper. Very rich and buttery.
