Helpful Hints
- This dessert will keep for several weeks in the freezer if covered well with plastic wrap and foil.
- Nuts are high in potassium and phosphorus, but can still be used in very small amounts if your labs are controlled. The 1/3-cup pecans in this recipe provides 40 mg potassium and 28 mg phosphorus per serving.
