I loved this recipe. It was gone in no time. Initially, I thought adding cream was weird, but it tasted great and I didn't notice any curdling. I did make it with vodka.

I didn't add the alcohol to this recipe so that may be why it was a little heavy on the sugar for me. The cream does curdle when you add the cream but if you don't look, it's not a problem, haha. If I make this again, I will use about a 1/2 cup of sugar instead of a full cup.
