    I remember this one, my aunt in SA makes it often... haven't had it in years! (living in Italy now)

    It should be yummy folks, especially if eaten while still warm with the cream on top... yum!!

    I'll request my aunt's recipe, I think hers is slightly different, contains some pieces of peaches I think. We called it Tipsy Tart!
