"Sound weird? Maybe, but it is so good. It came from my mother-in-law and it was in her family for years. I think it is an old-fashioned dessert. I haven't seen many recipes for it. My husband and grandkids love it. It has a nice custard filling in a graham cracker crust with meringue on top and sprinkled with extra graham cracker crumbs."
