Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If a make-ahead dessert is what you need, make this recipe the day before serving. After cooling, tightly cover with foil, and store in refrigerator until serving.
  • tip 2
    Need whipped cream but short on time? Purchase whipped cream topping in an aerosol can to have on hand to make serving this dessert extra easy.
