Comments

Note: I think it would be very easy.. perhaps easier even.. to omit the Jiffy cake mix and substitute a graham cracker crust and make the pie as directed after that.

This is a very delicous dessert that tastes light and springy! This is a recipe my sweet tooth mother-in-law, who is originally from "the old country", gave me and it is a good one!
