I am not a dessert person usually but these are absolutely fantastic! What a great combination of sweet and savory. I made my own gingersnaps to go with these and they turned out great! I can't wait to make these again (maybe on a dark and stormy night after the kids are in bed)...

You're not kidding that these are extravagant! Holey moley! The kids loved the flambe-ing part the best...."Mom, you should set food on fire more often!" I made "as is", except we left out the coconut--most of us not caring for it that much....otherwise, perfection!
