This would be a fantastic recipe, if it wasn't for the bottom layer. The crust contains way too much salt. If I were to do this over, I wouldn't add any salt to it at all. It didn't go too well with the other, very sweet layers. If this dessert didn't have the crust layer, it would have probably been 4 or 5 stars. Sorry; we still ate it, it just would have been better without all that salt.

I currently reside in a quaint little town on Lake Erie. I spend most of my time caring for my three children (DH,DS,DD). My love of cooking comes from my deeply rooted southern upbringing. I love to entertain and people enjoy my vittles.
