Nice light taste. Would be a good palate cleaner after a strong tasting dish. Sorry I didn't have any sprinkles! Thnx for sharing your recipe, connie. Made for THINK PINK OCT 2009.

I loved this dessert! It was a delicious light,simple, and GLUTEN FREE dessert. It was easy to make and even easier to devour. This would make a wonderful summer dessert to eat around the pool. Thanks for the keeper Connie!
