It’s light and airy, sweet but not heavy, and incredibly easy to make with just a handful of ingredients. Think of it
as a fluffy “Jello mousse” that sets up in the fridge and slices (or scoops) like a dream. It’s perfect for potlucks,
holidays, Sunday dinners, and those nights when you need something sweet without turning on the oven.
