Lovely Pina Colada flavor and makes for a nice light dessert. Made as posted but next time will go with with white bread slices instead of the whole wheat. The skim milk works but if I make it for family or friends would go with the 1 or 2 percent. Thank you for a touch of the Caribbean on a cold winter day here in Saskatchewan.Reply
