This dessert is one of those dishes that looks a mess but earns rave reviews. Making the whipped cream is a cinch too. Mix, layer, bake and top with homemade whipped cream, and what results is a bright orange creamy-crunchy dessert that every will want more of for midnight cravings. (Leftover alert: substitute baked sweet potatoes for leftover sweet potato casserole.)
