Very yummy! I served this over Breyer's low fat vanilla bean ice cream. What a treat.

Very nice dessert! I too would reduce the lemon juice a smidge. The toasted almonds are a very tasty touch. I bought sliced almonds and toasted them in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring them to ensure even browning. I took them off the heat when they were a light brown. Thanks for posting!

I loved it. So, easy to make and much more healthier than the bottled syrups . I halfed the recipe. Next time I'll reduce the lemon juice, cause I would prefer it a little sweeter. Thanks for sharing a great dessert. Made it for ZWT 3.
