Nana's Fairy Pie

We have never met our Grandma Piccolo (Nana) she died before we were born. This is a recipe she would make for everyone for dessert on Christmas Day. After she died my aunt and other family members continued to use this recipe for Christmas. It was a tradition for a long time until we all decided that it was too rich and fattening to eat. We do not make this every year now but occasionally make it to simply remember Nana.
