Remember the Nestle Toll House Pie? This is one of those retro desserts that always showed up at a covered dish dinner.
A few weeks ago, I was talking with one of my grand daughters about the kind of desserts we use to always serve back in the 1970’s, 1980’s, and 1990’s. We discussed Jell-o desserts, Punch Bowl Cake, Bundt cakes, and the Nestle Toll House Pie.
I think I will make a retro dessert every few weeks to share on my blog just for fun.
I actually had all of the ingredients and the recipe, so I made her the pie to sample. We both agreed that it is delicious, but just a little too rich tasting for us. When you make this dessert, cut it into very small slices.
