Russian Rechaufee'

A few months ago, my aunt mentioned that she had made one of my grandma's recipes which is recorded in our family cookbook. I had never prepared it myself and, in fact, I don't believe that I had ever eaten it before.  I enjoy making new recipes and so I decided to give it a try. Verdict? We thought it tasted good!
