Delicious! Super moist and flavorful -
I had some dates to use up so I made this the other day. Let it sit a day before eating it. Added some powdered sugar and some cool whip and it was nummy !! I put some in the freezer so we shall see how that goes. I will reheat it and maybe add some coffee/chocolate syrup on it sounds scrumptious ! Thanks for posting this.
