"After years of preparing desserts 'from scratch', I've now discovered how easy it is to use convenience products. My house is up for sale and all my small appliances are packed so I've needed to come up with recipes that can be made quickly with just bowls and pans. I found this recipe on a container of frozen whipped topping, not Cool Whip, but a generic brand. I found it to be the perfect convenience product dessert recipe!"
