My aunt got this from her sister-in-law but she wasn't sure where the recipe originated so I cannot give credit. Probably a magazine. We are very much a pull a recipe out of a random magazine family. That's how we roll! Hehe. Anyway, I tasted it to be polite at a family dinner a few weeks ago and about fell over as I shoveled the entire thing in my face! Angel food cake is my exception to the "I think cake is gross" rule. Love it. So last week I made a cupcake version to take to my neighborhood park dinner. They were a HUGE hit! And so easy. I just added a raspberry on top and called it a day. And because I didn't use all of the "frosting" on the cupcakes, I had half a bowl left over the next day. So I scooped it into a dish and tossed in berries and smiled as a I found my new favorite summer treat. Oh and if you so desire (and I do!), this can totally be a fat free treat! So please try this girls. It's so light and refreshing and easy peasy!
