Description
I call this Strawberry Wedding Delight because I first had it at a wedding supper. It was so delightful I had to get the recipe. The crust tasted nutty and delicious. I thought the top had pie filling in it, but it doesn’t. This dessert would go well for any occasion, bringing a touch of elegance and sweetness to your table.
