Just like a special dessert at a fine restaurant! I served this to guests, and the "ums", "yums", and "oh mys" went on so long, I was a little embarassed. These people acted like they were getting a full body massage! This dessert is truly that delicious. This would be perfect on a dessert table at a buffet. Thanks Hey Jude for such a divine recipe!
