This dessert lives permanently on my short list of go-to sweets for a social gathering — easy, simple, and good enough that even the non-dessert people in my life go back for seconds. One friend of mine, who genuinely doesn't care much for sweets, took a small piece at dinner one night and ended up finishing it, then going back for more.
"I never go back for seconds, so I hope you realize how good this is," she told me. When I insisted it was too easy to be that impressive, my husband laughed and said, "No, tell her you spent hours on it!" I didn't. I wanted her to be able to make it too — and we didn't bring a single bite home.
