My oldest daughter has been asking me to make this for so long, I finally decided yesterday was the day. It took ten minutes of prep and baking, then I ignored it in the fridge until it was nice and set. Couldn’t possibly be easier. And I had a very happy girl when she came home from school. 🙂 I will definitely make this more often now that I remember how quick it is to throw together, and it is perfect for company or as a last-minute gift. I recommend making your own crust because it’s too darn easy not to, and also the whipped cream is always better home-made. Besides that there’s not much too it, a handful of ingredients and a couple hours of chill time. Voilà! Enjoy!
