Four Layer Delight

Sharing is caring!

For a very long time, if I had to bring a dessert dish to a family function, I would bring Four Layer Delight.  It is oh so yummy and looks a bit more difficult than it is.  That made me feel like a little Martha. LOL!

Can you see the layers?  It is actually much easier to see them while it is still in the glass dish, but who cares if you can see them as long as you can taste them? LOL!

A glass dish on a marble countertop holds the enticing Four Layer Delight. The desserts creamy layers, with a striking dark center, steal the spotlight. In the background, containers and a red spoon subtly complement this sweet masterpiece.
