Made for Snow Queen's Comfort Cafe 2010. WOW delicious! reduced for 2 cups of coffee. Used 1/2 and 1/2 for the double cream, confectionary sugar and Ghiradelli's cocoa powder. Reduced sugar to 1/2 tsp. Loved this and can see making this as a regu;ar cuppa cafe in the morning. Thank you.

This was very good! I first had to figure out what castor and icing sugar is? In the USA, castor sugar is extra fine and icing sugar is better known as confectioner's. After the language barrier was bridged, I was able to try the recipe! Thanks for the recipe and the sugar lesson. This recipe was made for the Comfort Cafe's tag game.
