Reviews

  1. I am very happy to do the first review for this recipe. Have tried to make it a few times without success and today was asked to make enough for 40 people for a 40th birthday party. It was so easy to access the recipe and to increase the volume. I made two batches and both turned out<br/>beautifully. The sauce is terrific, but the texture of the Revani is exactly how it should be. The addition of the almonds makes it even better. I can highly recommend this recipe to anyone and you<br/>don't have to be an expert cook either. Well done Food.com.
