Rita - thank you for this wonderful dessert. The taste is rich and very satisfying and I'm so glad to have discovered this low-fat/low-cal version of one of my favourite sweet treats!

Great dessert. I cut one star due to the fact that I believe that the recipe calls for too much Amaretto. Although I used less than what was called for, it was still too strong. My holiday guests all agreed. Will make again with an adjustment. Thank you.

This is wonderful! It is hard to believe that it is low in fat because it sure doesn't taste like it at all. I scaled down the recipe to only make 10 servings. This is really a great dessert to make for dinner guests, especially after an Italian dinner. Thanks for sharing, Rita.
