    About this recipe

    We were asked about this delicious treat many times, but I too was a bit intimidated by it. It seemed more complicated than it actually was. This recipe was sent to me by "Monchi", one of our readers, it was so simple, and worked so well, that we only needed to make a few changes.

    It's your turn to try it. Trust me: It's nearly foolproof.

    Buen provecho!
