A very sweet, unusual, and delicious dessert! I used ground ginger instead of fresh and in the future would recommend reducing the butter or setting more aside in the dish so that one could put more on if needed. I was skeptical at how they would turn out and if my family would like them but they all got eaten up. I think I will use some of the extra butter/sugar syrup on other fruit or maybe some popcorn. I'm sure that it would be delicious on most anything. Made for ZWT6

My husband and I just finished this yummy dessert and will be having it again and again. Thanks. (I added sliced almonds just before serving and it was so good.)

Delicious. DD (toddler) told me to make these again she seems to love ginger. We had it with recipe#103744.

Just as the other reviewers said, this tastes great and couldn't be easier. My only suggestion is to use as small a baking dish as you can so that the lovely sauce doesn't have far to run!
