I am a retired chef and restaurateur. I would like to contribute a recepy for the family Sunday dessert. Very easy.

Oh, Pierre! This sounds wonderful...and easy! Unfortunately i will have to wait to try it until I am cooking for others, as I am the only one in my house who would eat it! Can't wait for a reason to try it! Thanks!

Thank you Pierre.

This sounds very delicious
and easy to make.
