How many servings does the recipe make? In the body of the recipe it says 4-6 dessert glasses but at the end of the recipe it states that it yields 12-14 servings. Which is it: 4-6 or 12-14?
Thank you Amy! 🙂 That baby of yours is gorgeous! You have a lovely family and thanks so much for stopping by.
Gorgeous desserts! I actually made some very much like this on Sunday for my daughter' baptism luncheon. But mine only had cheesecake on the top. After I made them, I regretted that I didn't put a scoop deeper down into the glasses - just like you did! Thanks for sharing! ---- Amy @ http://thegiftedgabber.com
