It took some unexpected company, left-over brownies, milk that needed to be used up and ripening bananas on the counter that lead to this creation.
My daughter and I literally made it up as we went and served it to rave reviews!
We should have made it earlier and let it sit in the fridge longer. But our audience had no complaints and literally licked the bowl cleaned!
