Notes
Recipe Notes:
Add your favorite ingredients. This dessert is fail-proof, and one thing I love the most about making my own is I can decide what goes in it. For flavor and color, feel free to experiment with other add-ins, such as boiled eggs, chopped bell peppers, or celery. Do you want sweeter? Add some sugar or condensed milk!Nutrition
