I still remember when I first tasted this recipe. My best friend Kyla introduced me to it, waaaaaay back when we were in high school. She brought it to a potluck we were going to, and I just had to know how to make it. I LOVE this stuff. I would sit down and eat the entire bowl of this stuff, if no one were watching.
This recipe is a great recipe for dessert if you’re looking for something really quick and easy to whip up.
Whip up. See what I did there? 😉
Four ingredients. Nice and light. Sweet and fruity. Delicious. Dessert salad. That’s what this recipe is.
Add a fifth ingredient – coconut, if you’re looking for a bit more texture.
Yum. I already can’t wait to eat more of this stuff. It’s in my fridge right at this moment.
