My kids usually hate fruits because they think they are all too sour but they really enjoyed eating this. I had a huge mess to clean up afterwards but their smiling faces were worth it.

Making this for my friends birthday since she prefers healthier desserts and this is definietly one of those, hope she likes it as much as I did (secretly took a bite already couldn't resist!)
