Excellent! Delicious. I used mandarin segments on top as well instead of whipped cream. Light and refreshing, yet indulgent. I'll make this again!!!

Yum Brenda a lovely refreshing dessert. I doubled the mandarins and used mandarin segments to decorate without using the whipped cream on top. I had some filling left over so put it into a large wine glass. Result was up market and impressive. Great for dinner party to impress!
