Personal Notes:
This is a delicious fancy dessert that our son,Theron Ferry, shared with me. You can even use a torch if making the lengthier version with caramel brown sugar on bottom. This does require more work, but makes a spectacular presentation. But if all you are concerned with is taste, the easier version is just fine!
