Outstanding recipe!!! Temptation is an understatment. I ate some after work and couldn't control myself and ate more for dessert. I started making this in the morning before work and didn't realise it needed more than 30 minutes to get syrupy so I just mixed the whip cream in anyway and went to work. I'm not sure if it looks right but the taste was right on! Lightly sweet and minty. Keeping this recipe nearby and will make again and again.
