This was a *lovely* dessert. Delicious with our afternoon coffee, and the Butter Sauce makes it elegant enough to serve to guests after dinner- especially if you add whipped cream. It went together so quickly and easily- thank you so much for sharing!!

i thought this was pretty good. a little on the sweet side, but overall a very nice dessert. Next time I will cut the sugar back by 1/2.
