With its delicate and airy texture, these bars are the perfect way to cool off and satisfy your sweet cravings. I’ve created a dairy-free version that doesn’t compromise on flavor or silky texture.

(Makes 9 large bars.)
Grab your apron and to learn the secret to this delicious dessert that has stood the test of time. (There’s no real big secret…it’s SUPER easy to make.) So get ready to impress your friends and family with this timeless old-fashioned dessert that is silky smooth and delicious!
