Notes

A layered treasure worthy of any summer celebration—red, white, and blue stacked like a signal flag on the captain’s table. Keeps fresh in the ship’s stores for up to 5–6 days. For a deeper voyage, swap Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream or add a splash of orange liqueur to the fruit fillings. Sweet as a sailor’s liberty and smooth as a calm tide.
