ReplyWOW, WOW, WOW - what a fabulous recipe!! the only thing which is very expensive in Cyprus are the cashew nuts. Can we substitute with something else? Also, the coconut you used was thick and creamy.....is this coconut cream?
ReplyThank you! I don't know if you can use other nuts, I need to try it first. Yes, this is coconut cream that has been chilled in the fridge.
ReplyThank you for this recipe! And great song choice for your video. I made this dessert last night to take to dinner at a friend’s house tonight. I can’t wait to taste it! Do you know how many calories are in a serving? I’m assuming it’s eight servings total. Thank you so much!
