This recipe is delicious, nice blend of flavors. Especially nice with the mint sauce. My dad dislikes yogurt and he loved the sauce to his surprise. I would probably try the kitchen express version next time when I have alot to prepare, as when made with fresh fruit takes a bit more time than expected. Very good for a morning treat!12/30/07
