Aunt Mazo's Dessert

The richest dessert I've ever tasted! A sort of a caramel pudding. It's so rich you'll probably only want a small serving . . . You can substitute Cool Whip for the real whipped cream if you want to save some calories, fat, and/or money in this recipe. (The way it stands, it costs over $15.00 to make!)

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped almonds
• 1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
• 4 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
• 4 pints heavy whipping cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Remove labels from the cans of milk and put them unopened into a large pot of gently boiling water. Boil for about 3 hours. Make sure the water doesn't boil away or the cans will explode (or so I'm told).

Step 2

After 3 hours, take the cans out and cool in fridge.

Step 3

When chilled, open the cans and put the results into a bowl.

Step 4

Beat the whipping cream, and fold into the "caramel sauce" (cooked, cooled condensed milk). Mix in the nuts and cherries.
