Possibly the Best Dessert Ever?

Oh believe me, it can't get much better.  It's been awhile since I posted a really good recipe, but I have to say that this one makes the top ten.  I've only had a it a couple of times, but I didn't forget it! (Not really a food you can forget)
On recommendation of a friend, (STRONG recommendation, I might add) I have endeavored to try this recipe again for Thanksgiving.

Don't think you can go wrong with it. ;)
