I wouldn't say that this is the prettiest dessert I've ever made but we were happy with the way it turned out. The texture definitely is firm custard and we enjoyed it more cold than warm (just personal taste preference).
I can't get cherries here or a good brandy so I made this with canned peaches and Golden Rum. I cut the sugar back a little since the peaches were in heavy syrup and very sweet. It turned out very well and the custard set up perfectly. Tasted best warm and this was a very good easy recipe. We'll be enjoying this often. Thanks for posting.
It turned out great! It was custardy and light. It was as easy to make as explained in the directions but used slightly less sugar.
I did not make any changes my husband and I loved it. I like it more for a breakfast than for dessert. I served it to guests (after dinner-chicken Marsala) they ate it with whipped cream. I like it without anything extra on it. I will try it with peaches next time.
OH MY GIDDY AUNT is this stuff good. I made it with thawed cherries expressed the juice out a bit so they would absorb the brandy a bit better and used a sifter for the confectioner's sugar to evenly apply for a finished look. It did not make it through the day. I was informed that I had to make another. IMMEDIATELY! I can't believe how easy it was to throw together - just assemble all your ingredients and you're almost done! It's good warm cold with a dollop of whipped cream served with a heaping tablespoon of vanilla ice cream or drizzled with a bit of blackberry sauce. Make it 'company fancy with a few fresh or maraschino cherries and a sprig of mint as shown or just with the confectioner's sugar.
Made this as written and then with several other combinations of canned/fresh/frozen fruit and different liqueurs. Can't seem to find a bad version! (Not that I want to.) This has become my "go to" recipe for a delicious, easy, and, pretty dessert. Thanks for the recipe!
I find that it is a nice balance of sweet and tart.
Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out weird. Never really puffed up and tasted like a under cooked pancake. No one ate it so I gave it to the squirrels and birds. Not sure what happened but I would not recommend it.
Came out great so easy to make
