Notes

This is an old family recipe that my mother in law used to make, then I started making if for my kids, they absolutely love it.  If you are not a fan of frozen whipped topping I have found that you can substitute it for whipped real whipping cream 1:1.  It does affect the texture a bit.  I often will do a 50:50 ratio of real whipped cream and frozen whipped topping.  It works perfectly as well.
