These were a big hit with the adults, but not so much with the kids. Well, my kid at least didn't like the cardamom in them, but that just left more for us adults! This recipe doesn't make a lot--probably about 12 slices.

Supposedly you can store these in the freezer for a quick treat, but I wouldn't know; they were all gone pretty fast when I served them.)
