This sweet casserole was inspired by a dish my sister, IFBB Bikini Pro Ruthie Harrison, made on year. It’s seriously decadent enough to have for dessert! We like ours topped with all natural marshmallows with no weird additives or food dye—yes, these actually exist!—but you can also leave them off for a lower-sugar version.
