This was so simple to make and so delicious I substituted half and half for sthe milk.I saved some for my daughter who took it to work yesterday she called me after eating it when I answered the phone the word I heard was "YUMMY". I had to laugh she is my picky eater. Give this a try you wont be sorry.
