My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Orange Cream Layered Dessert

The  best part of Grandma's meals was always dessert.  So much time and effort went into everything she made for us.

2 cups orange sherbet (softened)
1 pkg (8 oz) Cream Cheese (softened)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed)

Line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with foil.  Spread sherbet onto bottom of prepared pan to form an even layer.  Freeze 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy.  Gradually add condensed milk and juice, beating until blended.  Whisk in Cool Whip; spread over sherbet in pan.

Freeze 3 hours.  To unmold, invert pan onto plate; remove foil.

This is pretty - and it's delicious!
