So easy and so good -- a perfect endiing to a spicy meal. I didn't have any of the liquor so I used some extract instead -- delicious! This is great alone or would be a delicious topping for pound cake. Thanks Evelyn for posting this keeper desert recipe. We will be making this often this summer.

I reduced this to a single serving and used my immersion blender to whip the cream. So easy and yummy!

Very tasty with good strawberries. I made it for just the husband and I and I'm glad because even though it tasted great, it looked kind of a mess and I'm glad I didn't have to serve it to company. It would look better in a really pretty tall glass with maybe some mint leaves. Fast to do and a different take on things we use all the time.
