I made this dessert last night and all our guests loved it - we did too. I halved the amount of icing sugar on the recipe, as when adding the sugar and tasting it for sweetness I thought that the full amount would be too sweet for our liking. The result was wonderful. I topped ours with raspberries, strawberries and blackberries and served them in large wine glasses - they looked amazing. Will definitely make again and if you want an easy, light but amazingly delicious dessert then you can't go wrong with this recipe.
