    This was awesome & I'm not much of a sweets person. I tweaked it for my own use, since I didn't have espresso...subbed strong coffee and made the recipe for my family for 4 servings. But absolutely, insanely super on ice cream. KUDOS to you for coming up with this one. - 2/25/08

    I did not like this...the sauce was fine but the texture of the banana was not so good. And I was so excited to try this recipe...oh well. - 4/9/08
