I’ve read the ingredients and…. and what; well I’m looking for lovely foods like those on this Queen forum that gives a nod to modern eating foods and so for example I’m watching for the amount of sugar used in recipes. This recipe uses digestive biscuits and I have only eaten the U.K. variety which I like very much, so using them as a base is a lovely idea. Thank you for the opportunity to make a comment. Kind regards to all.

Delicious, great density and goes well with a tart berry syrup.

This is a beautiful recipe that works well every time. My family and I prefer it warm with all its lovely aromas and flavours that seem to dissipate a bit when cold.
