“I WANT IT NOW” – Veruca Salt

Standard

We had some people over Sunday night for dinner and while the entrée was decent the dessert was fabulous.  This is another fantastic recipe from the Pioneer Woman and I do believe you can switch out fruit if you’re not a blueberry fan.  This recipe looks complicated but I promise you it was super fast and easy.  If you are like me and have a very nice Kitchen Aid mixer on your countertop that rarely gets used….. this is a great excuse to plug it in.  Enjoy!
