Easy to make. It came out very light and fluffy. I didn't have quite enough whipped cream. Also, would be great served with some fresh berries on the side.

After several floods to my basement, I am starting to input all of the many many recipes that I've been collecting for years. I didn't realize just how many I had saved up... must make note to self.. step away from the cookbooks!
