I’m a sucker for whipped cream. And any kind of creamy dessert. It’s like they call my name. This dessert puts the two together and makes all my dreams come true.
Four layers in this puppy: 1) a shortbread bottom with crushed pecans, 2) a cream cheese and icing sugar layer, 3) pistachio pudding, and 4) whipped cream topped with sliced almonds.
But don’t just take my word for it. Make it and find out for yourself!
