I love sharing my family's recipes and I love cooking them for other people. But, I also love other people's family recipes because they just hit differently. When someone makes you something from their childhood you can literally taste the love and comfort. My friend had a bunch of us over for the Bills game and said I'm making my grandma's Slush Cake for dessert. I had never heard of it but was excited for a dessert, period. Let me tell you, I had no idea what I was expecting but this was delicious. It was like a pudding but with a pie-like crust. I said, "I need this recipe and I need you to let me share it." Sarah, having already contributed to Liz's Kitchen said, of course. So please enjoy this delicious family dessert.
