  • “Very tasty.I have eaten versions of this before, but this was my first attempt at making this myself at home.The flavor is very good, although a bit sweeter than I personally care for (I used the lesser amount of sugar), although my daughter found it to be perfectly sweet.After consulting with the recipe poster, I have learned that the cook time is off-it took 1 hour and 10 minutes total for mine to get to the proper thickness (the current cook time lists only 15 minutes).”
