Fruity Layered Dessert Pops & Cups
It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years since I first developed the recipe for Fruity Layered Dessert Pops & Cups for aish.com. I wrote for Aish towards the beginning of the writing portion of my career. My dear fried Stefanie had been writing for them and recommended me to the editor, and the rest is history.At the time, I was writing articles with multiple recipes several times a year. Most posts coincided with seasons or Jewish Holidays. The Fruity Layered Desserts were part of my 2012 Summertime recipes compilation, with recipes including “Buttermilk” Fried Chicken, Grilled Potato Salad and (funky looking) Hot Dog Flowers. I still love and make (most of) those recipes ten years later.
Fruity Layered Dessert Pops & Cups are Patriotic!
