Jell-O and Pudding Poke Cake
This was one of those…”Oh no, I said I would bring the dessert to the picnic.” kind of recipes. I had very little in my kitchen on Memorial Day and really had to tap into my creative side with this one. With no whipped cream, I tried to make my own. I failed miserably. That’s when I saw the tapioca. Thank God for the little Minute box of tapioca pudding staring right at me. I think I found a staple dessert for potlucks and holiday meals.
