Used fresh figs & only had sesame seeds and a few pecans, so I toasted them up and mixed in.. Absolutely wondeful.Thanks

I made this for a party and it was a BIG hit. I doubled the recipe and added pecans because I did not have enough walnuts and I only put in the refrigerator for 2 hours instead of 24 and it was fine. I will definitely be making this again!

This is excellent. I left out the milk and used almonds instead of walnuts (personal preference). Lovely!
