Everything is off the shelf for convenience, the cream that is used instead of custard from scratch and the lady finger biscuits instead of a baked sponge. I love cooking more than I do making dessert, which is why I naturally offer you so many baking hacks. Same amount of goodness with less skill set needed and less time to prepare.
