I've been making this dessert for 35 years! I double the vanilla. It truly is easy and elegant not just delicious. Its especially lovely for the Christmas season topped with the red berries (raspberries work well too) on the stark white form. It always gets me rave reviews. It easily doubles. Try it. You won't regret it!
