How many of you thought that to enjoy backpacking or hiking you were stuck with boring, bland, freeze-dried meals? Well, I was one of those people until I decided to try to ramp things up and experiment and try new recipes. This recipe by Chef Corso is absolutely delicious. I was actually shocked at how something this easy could taste so decadent. After eating this wafer bowl my belly was happy and I wanted to crawl into my sleeping bag and enjoy the food coma that it caused. This recipe was so good that the very night I returned from my camping trip I made it for my wife. I promise you this dessert is good enough to share with guests for a fancy meal.
