  1. These were devine … will be making again! So easy and could have had second helping – I din’t have a vanilla pod, but just just vanilla paste

    My daughter made these for us. I loved them. You can adjust coffee strength to suit your taste. Served with ice cream and had the syrup drizzled over the top.
