Notes
Serving suggestions: Serve chilled or at room temperature, either on its own for dessert or with vanilla ice cream. Top with crushed amaretti biscuits or macarons for a crunchy texture. Also good served with Greek yogurt or as an appetizer/starter with cheese - particularly goats cheese.
Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
