  2. Oh man, Iโ€™ve been craving a dessert like this lately. I love anything almond or ricotta. I might have to make this for next time I go to lunch with my friend. Weโ€™ve been fed up with local bakeries lately so Iโ€™ve just been making us desserts lol.

  3. A Wibble and a Wobble so c'mon let's gobble ๐Ÿคค.

    O so yummy. I've had this at a cafe prior to Convid. Maybe I need to revisit the cafe and see if they still have it.

    Actually I'm due for a treat this week. The 3 C's…
    'Coffee, Cake and Conversation' with a friend or a complete stranger.

    I'll save the recipe and hope to get round to making it someday.

    Thank you Daniella ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜€
    Take care now ๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ˜ป
