Glad you enjoyed it Miriam. Thank you for the feedback.
This was delicious! I used coconut milk and almond liqueur, and some good quality chocolate. I found it did need more liquid than called for. I ended up doubling the custard ingredients. Next time I want to make a salted caramel sauce to pour over.
