    WOW, WOW, WOW – what a fabulous recipe!! the only thing which is very expensive in Cyprus are the cashew nuts. Can we substitute with something else? Also, the coconut you used was thick and creamy…..is this coconut cream?

    Thank you for this recipe! And great song choice for your video. I made this dessert last night to take to dinner at a friend’s house tonight. I can’t wait to taste it! Do you know how many calories are in a serving? I’m assuming it’s eight servings total. Thank you so much!
