Angel Delight Dessert
"This is an old recipe my mom gave me that I've never tried. She said friends of her family used to make this dessert during the holidays when she was young. She said it was to die for and that everyone used to ooh and ah over it. I've only been able to estimate the time it takes to make. Cook time is refrigeration time."
