It was my daughter-in-law’s birthday this past weekend, and I wanted to do something nice for her.

Due to the quarantine, this was the best that I could do for her, so I wanted what I made to be special.

After talking to him, I was on the search for a dessert recipe that would be easy to prepare and also not too sweet.
