Exquisite the first time (served with another guest's impromptu contribution: a tiramasu - they went SPLENDIDLY together). Now I'm going to it make again! Hope it'll be as perfect as the first time!!!! got to mention in my review above that I added some powdered ginger by inspiration and substituted crisco for butter by necessity!! excruciatingly yummy....! Mercy Buckets Dave, for this recipe O so délicieuse!!!
