Native American: Cold Christmas Cake

Source of Recipe

Ruby Harper


List of Ingredients

1 lb. pecans or walnuts, chopped
1 lb. shredded moist coconut
1 lb. raisins
1 lb. vanilla wafers
1 regular can sweetened condensed milk




Recipe

Combine dry ingredients well. Pour in sweentened condensed milk and work through with hands so that dry ingredients are thoroughly saturated. Press into spring foam pan. Refrigerate for 2 days.

My Cherokee ancestors used hazelnuts, dates and thick goats milk, then wrapped the cake in watertight leaves bound with vine and placed in cold running stream for several days.

This is delicious and easy.
