This delicious dessert recipe was given to me by my beloved aunt Diana. I wish I could cook more often with her. It's inspiring to learn from her artistic, uncomplicated style. Since we don't live in the same city, I love to cook some of her most popular recipes, to cherish and revive the moments we spent together.
