  • Delicious and refreshing . Made for lunch on a hot day . Toasted the walnuts in the microwave and felt they were a great addition . Might try with frozen yoghurt, but will definitely make again.

  • Really delicious and decadent! Not sure the walnuts are necessary. Will try without, next time.
