It is truly summer & with temps going to the 100’s, who wants to have the oven on?
Looking through an old 1987 Sothern Living magazine this no-bake dessert drew my attention.
Not wanting to wait for Fall to experience my love of pumpkin, I immediately tore this one out. It is a keeper.

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
