Unbaked Goods

My cousin doesn't cook, but she makes a mean dessert. Following hot on the heels of Lori's raw food post, here is my own "raw food" story - not really raw, of course, since we used condensed milk, marie cookies, and pasteurized butter. I'm fast becoming white trash.

The process is simple - mix everything together. The order isn't especially important. After that, mix up the icing (we were so lazy we didn't sift the icing sugar - no ill effects noticeable), and ice. Stick it all in the fridge, then cut into squares and serve with lemon. If you're feeling fancy, some earl grey tea might be appropriate.
