    This was delicious! I changed it up a bit. I put in tiramisu yogurt I used NO sugar cappuccino mix and tiny bit of bakers choc. Then I added coffee extract. But everything was the same.

    After reading the previous review I added one TBS of sugar. It was pretty yummy! Not something I'd make for a get together but for an afternoon or late morning for something a bit different for my family I'd give it a go.

    This is a bit different but good. I found it a little too sweet for my preferences so I would cut way back on the sugar or eliminate it altogether but I will add it to my rotation. Thanks Luke.
