I saw this in Taste of Home but the magazine was discarded for some reason so I was happy to find it here. This is very, very delicious. To make my life easier, I just used Chocolate Reddi Whip on top.

I live in Chandler, Arizona, which is near Phoenix. I have been a registered nurse for almost 25 years. Currently I am a clinical supervisor at a health care clinic. I love to cook rich foods with complex flavors, whether they be main dishes or desserts. I have also been eating low carb for about 5 years, so I am pretty good at modifying recipes to match my lifestyle.
