Simple, quick recipe, worked well but lacked sweetness. Was fine topped with custard or I think next time will top with Natvia Salted Caramel or Natvia Maple syrup. Makes it entirely sugar free but adds sweetness.
I tried this for the first time yesterday, and now I’m obsessed!! It’s amazingly yummy!! Thank you!
