I made this tonight for a quick dessert since my husband was working. Unfortunatly, it wasn't a big hit. I topped it with almonds and coconut. The kids wouldn't eat it, and I just thought it was okay. I am not officially rating it since it could have been my fault. I didn't have any Curaco or apricot brandy, so that could have made the difference.

a very good recipe. I used the coconuts, and the peanuts. We all loved it. It also had a nice aroma to it. Can not wait to make it again. Thanks for the recipe.
