My mother-in-law passed down this 3 ingredient magic trick. It looks so fancy but takes absolutely zero effort to throw together.

That sounds like one of those “too easy but looks impressive” desserts 😄 — and usually it’s a simple combo dressed up nicely.

A very common version of this “3-ingredient magic” is:
