    Right with you lipstick! I'm assuming that we don't have to use cream sherry in it? being te-total I can't use alcohol in cooking - any other suggestions? Could you use mint essence?

    Made this using limited edition lemon After Eights. I used half quantities but made 5 small desserts as I reckoned it would be very rich. Obviously very easy to make and nice to eat.
