Double Chocolate Slab Pie

Mystery Pie

Posted on January 21, 2026 by sparecake

First things first: Why is it called that? No idea! Mostly a pavlova situation, you’ll make a meringue and serve with fruit and Cool Whip, which is a delightful combo! If you’re not already aware – it’s easier to separate … Continue reading →
