This week's Dessert of the Week is brought to us by Charlene a
member of our Momscooking online support
group.
Charlene
says:
This recipe is an adaptation from old one. My hobby is collecting
old, vintage cookbooks and I like to take some of those recipes and adapt them to my own.
I tried it out on some friends last year and we all gave it two thumbs up. My hubby
is lactose intolerant, so he didn't get to sample it. I did try making it with
Lactaid milk, but that milk is quite a bit sweeter, and I think whole milk is best. I'm a
work-at-home mom as a freelance administrator, married to Joe for 10 years, and together
we have a 5yo son. My hobbies are my recipes, collecting vintage cookbooks and
scrapbooking.

 This is a recipe from Marylina who has made a
holiday tradition on Christmas Eve with this recipe. It is a delightful blend of lemon and
vanilla with almonds, raisins and mixed dried fruits that will make a great addition to
your holiday table. She says, "This recipe I have made it for the last few years, for
my children and their families. We had it on vacation in Greece and wanted to share it
