A Summer Dessert {Guest Post by Nela}

Alright, I confess!

 I don't actually have a grandmother named Ruth (though I did have a great-grandmother whose name was that). ;)

I got this recipe from off a calender that we have in our kitchen, and since I was curious on how this dish would turned out, I went ahead to make it for all you lovely readers of Summer Breeze. :)

As you take your first bite...the flavors begin to explode in your mouth! It's sweet in the middle, crunchy at the bottom, and creamy on top. It's a perfect treat to enjoy eating with good friends on a hot summer's day. Hope you enjoy! :)
