Delicious for parties! - 21 Jul 2008
Easy Recipe to follow and make. I thought I could cheat and not let it chill for as long as the directions said...WRONG!!!! The flavour wasn't as intense as when it had chilled the 8 hours!!!! Delicious - 21 Jul 2008
Very good but overly rich. Next time I will serve much smaller portions and maybe add raspberries and cream. - 21 Jul 2008
